According to information from the WHO, the subline XBB.1.5 of the coronavirus variant Omicron is also emerging in Europe. Recent data shows cases in small but growing numbers. Work is underway to assess the potential impact of this, the WHO said on Tuesday.
After three long years of pandemic, further pressure on health systems cannot be afforded, so vigilance is always warranted. Regarding the worsened corona situation in China, the director of the WHO Regional Office Europe, Hans Kluge, shared the current assessment of the EU health authority ECDC that the increase in cases there is unlikely to have a major impact on the epidemiological situation in Europe . According to available information, the variants circulating in China are those seen in Europe and elsewhere.
However, one should not become complacent, Kluge said. It is not unreasonable for countries to take precautions to protect their populations. The states that have introduced precautionary travel measures must ensure that they are “science-based, appropriate and non-discriminatory”.
