EU health agency says China traveler screening 'unjustified' in bloc

The European Union's health agency said Thursday it believed that the introduction of mandatory Covid screenings of travellers from China was "unjustified," despite a surge in cases in China.

Despite the introduction of mandatory Covid tests in the United States and Italy on those arriving from China, such measures were not necessary for the EU as a whole, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said in a statement.
