Luxembourg's COVID-19 Testing Strategy in Spotlight in new ECDC Risk Assessment | #CoronaVirus #COVID19 #ECDC | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Luxembourg's Ministry of Health has reported that the importance of having a comprehensive testing strategy in the fight against the COVID-19 virus is highlighted in the new risk assessment that the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) published today, Monday 10 August 2020.

The ECDC is concerned about the development of the situation in the European Union, where several countries have recently been facing an increase in cases. According to the ECDC, the Member States which have opted for the deployment of large-scale tests, in addition to an effective tracing system, such as Luxembourg, are better equipped to quickly detect an increase in cases, to identify groups at risk and therefore to limit the risks of a new rise in infections.
