EU chief hopes for a vaccine before Autumn. #Coronavirus
- 4 years ago
Ursula von der Leyen: We are accelerating research. Yesterday I spoke to the managers of an innovative European research company. They work on a promising technology to develop a vaccine against the coronavirus. The European Union provides them up to 80 million euros and I hope that with this support we can have a vaccine on the market perhaps before autumn. - https://www.eudebates.tv/debates/eu-policies/economy/coronavirus-outbreak-threatens-eu-economy/ #eudebates #coronavirusitalla #Covid_19 #coronavirus #CoronavirusOutbreak #Corona #COVD19 #Health #EUCO #COVID
