The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) provides regularly updated information on coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) relevant to Europe through a dedicated webpage. ECDC also publishes regular risk assessments. Because of the rapidly changing situation in Europe, we provide a summary from the one published today in the Box below.
