T30 4166-4379 Sentence denotes The situation is evolving very quickly and a rapid, proactive and comprehensive approach is essential in order to delay transmission, as containing transmission to local epidemics is no longer considered feasible.
T31 4380-4682 Sentence denotes A rapid shift from a containment to a mitigation approach is required, as the rapid increase in cases, that is anticipated in the coming days to few weeks may not provide decision makers and hospitals enough time to realise, accept and adapt their response accordingly if not implemented ahead of time.
T32 4683-4884 Sentence denotes Measures taken at this stage should ultimately aim at protecting the most vulnerable population groups from severe illness and fatal outcome by reducing transmission and reinforcing healthcare systems.
T33 4885-5108 Sentence denotes Given the current epidemiology and risk assessment, and the expected developments in the next days to few weeks, the following public health measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic are necessary in EU/EEA countries:
T34 5109-5243 Sentence denotes Social distancing measures should be implemented early in order to mitigate the impact of the epidemic and to delay the epidemic peak.
T35 5244-5488 Sentence denotes This can interrupt human-to-human transmission chains, prevent further spread, reduce the intensity of the epidemic and slow down the increase in cases, while allowing healthcare systems to prepare and cope with an increased influx of patients.
T36 5489-5511 Sentence denotes Such measures include:
T37 5512-5611 Sentence denotes the immediate isolation of symptomatic persons suspected or confirmed to be infected with COVID-19;
T38 5612-5777 Sentence denotes the suspension of mass gatherings, taking into consideration the size of the event, the density of participants and if the event is in a confined indoor environment;
T39 5778-5907 Sentence denotes social distancing measures at workplaces (for example teleworking, suspension of meetings, cancellation of non-essential travel);
T40 5908-6162 Sentence denotes measures in and closure of schools, taking into consideration the uncertainty in the evidence of children in transmitting the disease, need for day care for children, impact on nursing staff, potential to increase transmission to vulnerable grandparents;
T41 6163-6244 Sentence denotes cordon sanitaire of residential areas with high levels of community transmission.
T42 6245-6305 Sentence denotes Ensuring the public is aware of the seriousness of COVID-19.
T43 6306-6488 Sentence denotes A high degree of population understanding, solidarity and discipline is required to apply strict personal hygiene, coughing etiquette, self-monitoring and social distancing measures.
T44 6489-6626 Sentence denotes Community engagement and acceptance of stringent social distancing measures put in place are key in delaying and reducing further spread.
T45 6627-7011 Sentence denotes Prevention and control of COVID-19 in hospitals and long-term care facilities is an immediate priority in order to: (1) slow the demand for specialised healthcare, such as ICU beds; (2) safeguard populations vulnerable to severe outcomes of infection (3); protect healthcare workers that provide care; (4) minimise the export of cases to other healthcare facilities and the community.
T46 7012-7154 Sentence denotes Every healthcare facility should initiate training for all staff and those who may be required for healthcare provision during surge capacity.
T47 7155-7307 Sentence denotes Countries should identify healthcare units that can be designated to care for COVID-19 cases, to minimise transmission to non-cases and to conserve PPE.
T48 7308-7518 Sentence denotes Countries and healthcare institutions should identify additional facilities that can be used for the cohorting of cases with mild symptoms, in the event that surge capacity is exceeded by healthcare facilities.
T49 7519-7677 Sentence denotes The highest priority for use of respirators (FFP2/3) are healthcare workers, in particular those performing aerosol-generating procedures, including swabbing.
T50 7678-7999 Sentence denotes If resources or capacity are limited, rational approaches should be implemented to prioritise high-yield actions, which include: rational use of confirmatory testing, reducing contact tracing to focus only on high-yield contacts, rational use of PPE and hospitalisation and implementing rational criteria for deisolation.
T51 8000-8127 Sentence denotes Testing approaches should prioritise vulnerable populations, protection of social and healthcare institutions, including staff.
T52 8128-8243 Sentence denotes National surveillance systems should initially aim at rapidly detecting cases and assessing community transmission.
T53 8244-8457 Sentence denotes As the epidemic progresses, surveillance should monitor the intensity, geographical spread and the impact of the epidemic on the population and healthcare systems and assess the effectiveness of measures in place.
T54 8458-8716 Sentence denotes In circumstances with capacity shortages and strict implementation of social distancing measures, surveillance should focus on severe acute respiratory infections, sentinel surveillance in outpatient clinics or collection of data through telephone helplines.
T55 8717-8976 Sentence denotes A strategic approach based on early and rigorous application of these measures will help reduce the burden and pressure on the healthcare system, and in particular on hospitals, and will allow more time for the testing of therapeutics and vaccine development.
