European public health officials have forged some bilateral cooperative agreements and are discussing establishing a regional disease control center for EU nations. He further stated that policies on epidemic control that involve consistent, open, and truthful communication with the public-like those used in New York and Toronto during the recent SARS outbreak-create cooperative environments that minimize conflicts between freedom and safety and limit the effects of isolation and quarantine.
