Explore what COVID-19 is and how we respond to
it going forward
The world is paying close attention to the outbreak of novel
coronavirus (COVID-19), following its emergence in December 2019 in Wuhan,
China.
With over a thousand deaths from the virus already and warnings
it could spread to as much as 60% of the world population, governments are
scrambling to respond, while citizens are wondering how worried they should be.
On this course, you’ll identify what we know so far about the
disease outbreak. You’ll learn what exactly the virus is, how we think it
spreads, how we should respond to it in the present, and what its implications
are for the future.
This
course would be of interest to healthcare professionals looking to learn the
latest information on COVID-19, including details on how it spreads, how
infectious it is, how people should be screened and quarantined, and when it
should be considered a public health emergency.
It would also
be valuable for members of the public who are concerned about the virus and
want to separate fact from fiction.
