Health system measures in Luxembourg – COVID-19 – June 2020

The health system measures put into place in Luxembourg to contain the spread of COVID-19 are:

* Additional expenditures in the context of health and crisis management, notably for the procurement of medical equipment and infrastructure (up to €194m).

* Medical teleconsultations to be reimbursed.

* In order to ease the burden on general practitioners, upstaffing of “maisons médicales” and establishment of four regional centers designated specifically for COVID-19 patients.
*Employers that are allowed to perform their activities must take all the necessary measures to protect the health of their employees, notably by ensuring social distancing and making protective gear available.
*The COVID-19 Task Force has developed a “Large Scale Testing Strategy” based on a voluntary diagnostic test, accessible to the population, as well as cross-border commuters.
*The wearing of facial protective gear is mandatory in public transport and at any moment in which a social distance of 2m cannot be maintained
– except for children below the age of 13. On 20 April, every resident has received a kit of 5 masks. On 5 May, a second distribution of 50 masks for each person aged 16 and every cross-border worker was decided.
