EU raises coronavirus risk-level to 'high'
By EUobserver
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control on Monday raised the risk of infection in the European Union from "moderate" to "high", due to the increase in the number of cases during the last days. A total of 18 member states have been affected by the outbreak, although this is a "rapidly-changing situation," said the commissioner for health, Stella Kyriakides, calling for a coordinated European and national response.
