The European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education is closely monitoring developments surrounding the global Coronavirus (COVID‑19) pandemic. National governments are implementing new precautionary and responsive measures on a daily basis to address this crisis. Actions include temporary school closures, closing of borders to non-essential travel and social distancing advice. The outbreak and its consequences could have wide-reaching impacts for the foreseeable future. At the Agency, we are committed to doing our part to mitigate negative effects.
