Article summary

The European Commission has stated that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought to light the importance of allowing health data to flow more freely between countries in Europe, as this could help in the fight against coronavirus and better prepare countries for future health emergencies. However, the Commission has reasoned that such must only take place where the privacy of patients whose data might be collected is guaranteed. The system must, according to the Commission, also be trusted by citizens.
