| Summary: | COVID-19 came unprecedented, exposing the challenges in the
healthcare policies of the EU and China in combating the virus. China's zero COVID-19
policy, although effective in reducing COVID-19 transmissions, was criticized by both the
public and healthcare professionals. The policy was only effective in the short term, and
once China eased its lockdown, the COVID-19 cases surged. Also, the EU's digital
COVID-19 certificates, although vital in determining the COVID-19 status of the visitors
during the pandemic, are only acceptable in the EU member states and expose travelers
to the risk of contracting the disease. For health policies to be effective in combating
future pandemics, they require improvement by involving public members and enhancing
global cooperation.
