Rules for managing outbreaks were created long before COVID-19. For example, engaging the local community and understanding their norms are important when managing an outbreak.
How do we know?
Because we’ve been there, we’ve studied outbreaks, and we literally wrote a book on it.
Our expert team of infectious disease clinical research specialists have studied outbreaks such as H5N1, HIV, Zika and Ebola. Written by these industry veterans, this e-book includes eight key points based on lessons learned from the front lines. A few include:
- Education and communication reduce fear and panic in an outbreak
- To fight an outbreak, borders must be dissolved, and countries need to act as a global community
- Preparedness of health care systems and qualified research networks are essential
