EU officials’strongly’ demand testing before travel to China Covid

    The recommendation comes after the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, said that a “overwhelming” majority of member states supported limiting Chinese immigration.

    Testing has already been implemented in France, Spain, and Italy, but other countries, like Germany, have been keeping an eye on the situation. Pre-flight testing is now required for arrivals from China in England, which is outside the EU.

    from Thursday.

While individual states are free to establish their own policies, it is unknown if an EU-wide strategy would be implemented despite the advice.

The IPCR’s recommendation represents a shift in strategy from the body’s disease prevention organization, which last week cautioned against the implementation of required Covid testing.

Given the high vaccination rates in Europe and the fact that the variations circulating in China were already present in the European Union, the ECDC claimed that testing was “unjustified.”

Despite the rise in instances, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday that there was no proof of new variations in China. Experts cautioned that this might be the result of a lack of testing and data.

A “too limited” definition of a Covid death, according to the WHO, is one of the reasons why China is understating the full impact of Covid in the nation.

Beijing has only acknowledged 22 deaths since December, which conflicts with analyst data.
