A few days earlier, on May 2, the Health Board canceled the COVID-19 emergency threat in Estonia.
The world is at the stage of exiting the pandemic. The Health Board will continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19, as well as other infectious diseases, and is collecting information on patients that require hospital treatment.
The spread of COVID-19 is still extensive but is no longer posing an acute emergency threat to health care as a whole. It is still not a good idea to underestimate COVID-19 as a disease. The elderly, those over the age of 60, and people who have risk conditions should follow the recommendations of the immunoprophylaxis expert committee regarding vaccination against COVID-19 with booster doses.
