Our priority is well-being and safety of all of you and that is why we provide this information to immediately support you to prepare for and respond to the evolving situation regarding COVID-19 in order to prevent and combat the illness.

We strongly recommend you to strictly follow the measures taken on EU, national and regional level and to implement it. Be regularly informed of the new measures proposed by relevant authorities and implement them.

When the COVID -19 epidemic situation is deeply affecting your project implementation, we strongly recommend you to take appropriate measures such as reviewing the planned project activities/ to see what activities can be postponed to a later date. Should an event have to be cancelled, postponed or if partners/stakeholders could not attend for the reasons as mentioned above or other justified medical conditions, we recommend you to consider together with the partners involved whether carrying out the meeting by other means such as videoconferences is a suitable option in order to minimize the impact on the work plan. Please stay in contact with the Joint Secretariat regarding any changes that COVID -19 epidemic situation might cause to your project.

We believe that our joint efforts shall help to pass through this emergency situation.
