Brussels, June 13 (RHC)-- The public health crisis caused by COVID-19 in Europe is not over yet, the European Union's top health official warned, urging governments to remain vigilant and plough ahead with testing and tracing the population.

"This is not behind us yet.  We need to be vigilant," EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides told EU health ministers in a videoconference, amid fears of a new surge in infections as EU states gradually reopen business and borders and after mass protests in recent days across the continent.

The EU is worried there might be a second wave of infections as countries relax restrictions.
