We are at a particularly critical juncture in the COVID-19 pandemic, EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Stella Kyriakides said on Friday, calling on citizens to get vaccinated.
Kyriakides said there was no evidence that the new coronavirus mutation is more contagious or that it diminishes the vaccines’ effectiveness.
Speaking to the press after a meeting with Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment Costas Kadis, in Nicosia, Kyriakides said that “after two months of stabilization and decrease in the numbers, we now have a steady increase in almost all Member States” and “vaccines remain the only shield we have against the coronavirus”.
