COVID 19- Johns Hopkins Webcast – March 17, 2020
COVID-19 is now a global pandemic. Businesses are shuttering, classes are canceled, and financial markets are taking significant hits.
This is a critical time for information but also for the support and reassurance that science and evidence can offer. What actions do we know are effective in pandemics? Does social distancing truly make a difference in an outbreak? What have we learned about COVID-19 that can inform how we prepare and respond in our daily lives?
Experts from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health will answer these questions and more in a 30-minute webcast at 11:30 a.m. EDT, Tuesday, March 17, 2020. A recording of the webinar will be available later in the day.
Questions can be submitted and this webcast can be accessed at www.jhsph.edu/events/2020/covid-19
Links and resources will be added as available.
