Responding to COVID-19: A Science-Based Approach

Brought to you by the American Public Health Association and the National Academy of Medicine, the COVID-19 Conversations webinar series is exploring the state of the science surrounding the current outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States and globally, with a focus on the emerging evidence on how to best mitigate its impact. Hear from trusted experts in such fields as public health, infectious disease, risk communication, and crisis standards of care.

The eighth COVID-19 Conversations webinar will help set the stage for the months ahead.

As we look forward to the summer months, what can we expect to see as states and communities loosen restrictions? The webinar will explore how the normal course of events including warmer weather, increased tornadoes and hurricanes, months of stay-at-home orders and loosening of restrictions combine to impact health and well-being.
