The Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy approved almost EUR 6 million in EU funding to the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) for measures to fight the spread of coronavirus, including for support staff and equipment.
The NIJZ will beef up epidemiological services by securing and training support staff, activating mobile teams and procuring office space and equipment. It will also raise awareness about preventing Covid-19 and support self-isolating individuals.
