ATTENTION: EVC postponed to 2021
“Last month the EVC board was forced to postpone the European Vascular Course (EVC) due to the Corona viral spread. The board assumed that 14 weeks would be long enough to achieve a safe and Corona-free environment. Unfortunately, the situation has become even more precarious and the entire world is severely affected by COVID-19. Medical staff is currently overloaded and they expect even more pressure as soon as the Corona problem is solved and all postponed elective surgical procedures have to be caught up. On a social level, all countries have cancelled meetings and group activities for the next couple of months. Therefore EVC is postponed to 7-9 March 2021.”
