April 2 2025
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has produced key lessons learned, primarily from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the multicountry Mpox outbreak in 2022–2023. These recommendations are organised according to the phases of the continuous preparedness cycle: Anticipation, Response and Recovery.
This document, together with the ECDC recommendations on the implementation of public health and social measures (PHSMs) for health emergencies and pandemics published in 2024, form a package of concrete recommendations for preparedness planning for the EU/EEA countries.
