Agreement at European level: passengers from China must be tested before departure

During a health consultation, the EU member states decided to tackle the current corona wave in China in a coordinated manner. For example, passengers from China will be tested for Covid-19 before departure, there will be a thorough investigation of virus particles in the wastewater of incoming flights from China and each Member State is requested to tighten up the supervision of arrivals. This is what European Commissioner for Health Stella Kyriakides writes on Twitter. China says it is not pleased with the travel restrictions and calls them “politically motivated”.
