Health experts from the Twenty-seven will meet this Wednesday in Brussels to discuss the coordination of possible entry requirements to the European Union (EU) in order to control the arrival of travelers from China after the peak of covid-19 infections registered by the Asian giant in recent weeks after the withdrawal of most restrictions.
The objective of the meeting, as confirmed by diplomatic sources to Europa Press, is to debate the situation of covid-19 in China and discuss possible measures that the EU could adopt in a coordinated manner.
The Asian country announced at the end of December that will reopen its borders on January 8for the first time since March 2020, which has caused several countries, mainly in Asia but also the United States and some Europeans, to have decided in recent days to require travelers from the Asian country to test negative for covid to travel to their countries. territories.
Meanwhile, Chinese experts quoted by the local press describe as “waste of time and resources” prevention measures that the European body could impose today.
“Requiring tests of every traveler is unnecessary. Many countries are fully vaccinated to prevent large-scale outbreaks. The most important and effective now would be to analyze the sequences of the virus“, indicates to Global Times academic Chen Xi of Yale University.
Chinese response
For its part, China has labeled the measures “unacceptable”, alleging that there are no scientific arguments that justify the restrictions approved by governments such as Spain’s.
In addition, the Chinese government has claimed to have “shared data and information” on covid cases registered in the country “responsibly”, and has once again asked the international community to avoid “politicizing the pandemic”.
The rapid spread of the virus throughout the country after withdrawing the “zero covid” policy has sown doubts about the reliability of official data of infections and deaths, which have registered only a handful of recent deaths from the disease despite the fact that localities and provinces have calculated that a significant proportion of their populations have been infected.
