After a discussion with von der Leyen on coronavirus situation, Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa welcomed the EU proposal on the bloc's external border. "Finally good news from Brussels," he wrote on Twitter.
Even more countries still remained their internal border open, states of emergency or extraordinary have been declared by some to tackle the disease. Others are preparing for similar policies.
As European countries are grappling with the epidemic, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Monday that the escalation in testing, isolation and contact tracing is not urgent enough. These measures are the backbone of the COVID-19 response, said Tedros.
According to the WHO chief, the most effective way to prevent infections and save lives is breaking the chains of COVID-19 transmission.
"You cannot fight a fire blindfolded and we cannot stop this pandemic if we don't know who is infected," he said, calling for every suspected case testing.
"We have a simple message for all countries: test, test, test. Test every suspected #COVID19 case," the WHO said in tweet.
