T31 4232-4534 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 4535-4736 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 4737-4960 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 4961-5095 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 5096-5340 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 5341-5363 Sentence denotes Such measures include:
T37 5364-5463 Sentence denotes the immediate isolation of symptomatic persons suspected or confirmed to be infected with COVID-19;

T42 6097-6157 Sentence denotes Ensuring the public is aware of the seriousness of COVID-19.

T44 6341-6478 Sentence denotes Community engagement and acceptance of stringent social distancing measures put in place are key in delaying and reducing further spread.
T45 6479-6863 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 6864-7006 Sentence denotes Every healthcare facility should initiate training for all staff and those who may be required for healthcare provision during surge capacity.
T47 7007-7159 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 7160-7370 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 7371-7529 Sentence denotes The highest priority for use of respirators (FFP2/3) are healthcare workers, in particular those performing aerosol-generating procedures, including swabbing.
T50 7530-7851 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 7852-7979 Sentence denotes Testing approaches should prioritise vulnerable populations, protection of social and healthcare institutions, including staff.
T52 7980-8095 Sentence denotes National surveillance systems should initially aim at rapidly detecting cases and assessing community transmission.
T53 8096-8309 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 8310-8568 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.
