Covid-19 is a major priority for the Government and we are engaging constructively with the EU and with our European and global partners to respond to the outbreak.

We continue to access all EU health security alerting systems, databases and networks during the transition period, including the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS), which we have used to share information in response to the pandemic, and to attend EU Health Security Committee meetings where it is in our interests to do so.
