Recital 13
(13) Experience from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that there is a need for further firmer action at Union level to support cooperation and coordination among the Member States, in particular between neighbouring border regions. The national prevention, preparedness and response plans of Member States sharing a border with at least one other Member State should therefore include plans to improve the preparedness for, prevention of and response to health crises in border areas in neighbouring regions, including through cross-border training for healthcare staff and coordination exercises for the medical transfer of patients.
