[Nheri-council] [EXTERNAL] - NHERI Operations Update Status related to COVID-19

[julio ramirez]

Forrest and all:

JRC experts developed the Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources 
platform together
with the World Health Organization, and have been tracking the outbreak 
since it first
emerged in China. They are also at the forefront of research that’s 
helping us better
understand the spread of the virus, the effectiveness of control 
measures and the impact
on our economies.

I hope this helps.
Julio
