This document provides key considerations for Member States to help them to decide on the modulation of large-scale restrictive public health measures(i.e. movement restrictions and large-scale physical distancing), while at the same time strengthening core public health service capacities (to identify, isolate, test and treat every patient and quarantine contacts)together with personal protective measures (hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette) and individual physical distancing (>1 metre distance). The transition should be informed by national, subnational or even community-level risk assessments as the transmission ofCOVID-19 is typically not homogeneous within a country.
