“With the COVID-19 pandemic still here, we are doing our best to learn and cope. We are continuously assessing that we have developed towards improvement and further innovations.
It has been said that pandemics would become more and more frequent in our lifetime. We should therefore not stop collaborating with each other so that we will be more prepared in the future.”
