The European Commission is working closely with EU Member States to fight the pandemic in a coordinated way because decisions taken by one country will affect people across the Union.

The situation is changing very quickly so to help you keep up with the latest developments, here are five things that may be useful to know from the official Medium account of the European Commission:

1. Important steps are being taken at the European level;

2. A lot of false information is circulating so only rely on information from trustworthy sources;

3. Hand hygiene and cough etiquette are simple but vital measures;

4. By keeping your distance from others, you protect your own health and the people around you;

5. We are all in this together.

For further information on each of these 5 key points of EU action, please check the official EC Medium Account. © European Union, 1995-2020
