The European Commission expects the potential vaccine for the new Coronavirus that is being created by a German laboratory to be on the market by autumn, which could “save lives inside and outside Europe”.
“We are [Comissão Europeia] to speed up the investigation. Yesterday [segunda-feira] I spoke with the managers of an innovative company that is working on a promising technology to develop a vaccine against Coronavirus ”, said the president of the community executive, the German Ursula von der Leyen, through a video published on the social network Twitter.
Recalling that the European Union (EU) “has already provided 80 million euros to CureVac, a company in Tubingen, Germany, the official says she hopes that,” with this support, a vaccine will be possible on the market perhaps until autumn “.
“This can save lives in Europe and the rest of the world”, Ursula von der Leyen highlights in the video.
Even so, the leader of the community executive admits that “there is still much to be done to combat this virus in the EU”.
Therefore, he stresses that “everyone can contribute”, advising citizens right away “to stay home and reduce social contact”.
