In today’s Pro Health briefing call, infectious disease experts joined POLITICO’s health team to discuss the fast-evolving responses to the coronavirus epidemic.

Why are different countries around the EU and U.K. taking different responses to testing and prevention? How long might the lockdowns last? What lessons are we already learning about how Brussels could improve cooperation?

David Heymann, distinguished fellow at Chatham House’s global health program, and Herman Goossens, director of the clinical pathology department of the University Hospital in Antwerp and coordinator of the Rapid European COVID-19 Emergency Research Response, helped us sort through the uncertainty, with POLITICO reporters Jillian Deutsch and Ashleigh Furlong.
