Impact of surge in China cases on epidemiological situation in EU/EEA.

The number of cases has reached a record high in China, peaking on 2.12.22. In the past three weeks, incidence has fallen, likely also due to a lower testing.

There continues to be a lack of reliable data on cases, hospital admissions, deaths as well as ICU capacity & occupancy in China.

High levels of infections are expected in the coming weeks due to low population immunity & the relaxation of measures.

The variants circulating in China are already circulating in the EU, and as such are not challenging for the immune response of EU/EEA citizens. In addition, EU/EEA citizens have relatively high immunisation and vaccination levels.

A surge in cases in China is not expected to impact the epidemiological situation in the EU/EEA, we are however constantly monitoring the situation with Member States, @EU_Commission & @WHO_Europe.
