We have now completed a pilot round (Round 0) which aimed to explore the impact of waning immunity and potential new variants efforts in order to better understand their relative importance for the future of COVID-19 across Europe.

The details for this round identically matched those of the US Scenario Hub, applied to the 32 countries of the European Hub.
