Here is the draft of the Brussels roadmap sent to the States: 'With easing measures inevitable new cases' (ANSA)

The EU Commission sets the criteria for Member States to assess whether it is time to ease the restrictions imposed on Covid-19. The aim of the Brussels recommendations is to resume economic and social activities, while minimizing the impact on citizens' health and avoiding overloading health systems. An action that requires a "well coordinated approach" between states and at EU level. This can be read in the draft sent to the member countries that ANSA is able to anticipate.

EU, with easing measures inevitable new cases - Any gradual easing of restrictions will "inevitably" lead to a corresponding increase in new cases. The EU Commission writes this in its draft roadmap sent to the States which ANSA has viewed. For this - Brussels recommends - constant monitoring and readiness to reintroduce the measures is needed. Among the conditions to be assessed before the revocations, however, the significant and continuous decrease in the spread of the virus, and the sufficient health and monitoring capacity.
