The lifting of the containment measures is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has just publish a report about the rules that must be followed when returning to normality and where it leaves, as a golden rule, the need for countries to be very cautious.

The report, which gathers data from the 27 member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and the United Kingdom, states that the issue of company opening begins to arise when the peak of transmission has already been passed in 20 countries in Europe. , and the number of new reported cases has declined.

According to available data, ECDC considers that the risk of severe disease in EU / EEA countries and the United Kingdom is considered low for the general population in areas where appropriate measures of physical social distance have been taken and where community transmission has been reduced and kept at low levels. Otherwise, the risk of contagion is still considered moderate.

You can’t let your guard down without a vaccine

Encouraging signs, but that are not, for now, synonymous with the problem nearing the end. ECDC warns that the effects of the pandemic will continue to be present for a long time in the life of societies and that, at least until there is a vaccine, it is imperative not to let your guard down, maintaining a great demand in hygiene measures such as hand washing, respiratory etiquette, social detachment and the use of masks, as well as enhanced surveillance of risk groups, starting with the elderly.
