Скачать или смотреть Beyond the Peak: GMF Coronavirus Update from Europe

After weeks of soaring infection rates and deaths caused by COVID-19, Europe is slowly moving beyond the peak of its coronavirus pandemic. As patients recover and the curve of new cases flattens, European countries are beginning to think about what comes next. In consultation with its member states, the European Union has offered guidelines for the next phase of the crisis. These aim to ensure that member states' economies are reopened in a gradual, but coordinated way that takes into consideration each country's individual situation and risk, and prevents further spread as shutdown measures are loosened.

Europe's hardest hit country, Italy, has already begun to open some previously closed businesses and is looking to further loosen its policies in early May. Germany is set to reopen many of its shops on April 20 and some of its schools starting May 4. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab announced on April 16 that current measures would stay in place for "at least the next three weeks."

Join us for a conversation with local experts to discuss the current political climate in Europe and learn how Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom are preparing for the second phase of the coronavirus health crisis.
