Bloomberg School of Public Health coronavirus webcast

Description

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. The webcast will be available at JHSPH.edu/COVID-19/Mar-17.

Joshua M. Sharfstein Vice dean for public health practice and community engagement Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Caitlin Rivers Senior scholar, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Andy Pekosz Professor, molecular microbiology and immunology Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
