The Commission continues to coordinate assistance to countries requesting EU support on various fronts. Responding to Slovakia’s request for medical staff to help treat COVID-19 patients, Denmark has offered to send 3 doctors and 5 nurses via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. Belgium has offered to deploy 1 doctor, 2 nurses and a team leader to Slovakia. Commissioner Lenarčič welcomes these offers as another tangible example of EU solidarity in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
