The European Medicines Agency has indicated the growing threat EU countries must remain prepared for, said the regulator's chief medical expert Steffen Tirstrup. Potential threats are being monitored with the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. "Whether it will be a new appearance of COVID or something we don't expect yet, it's hard to say," Tierstrup said. In his opinion, the experience of recent years provides a clear lesson: even if the next threat does not rise to a full epidemic, the appearance of another serious outbreak of the disease is only a matter of time.
