On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization lifted the Public Health Emergency of International Concern for COVID-19 that began in January 2020, thus declaring “COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.” The end of the emergency phase of the pandemic is a major milestone. Listen to the leaders of the Institute for Pandemics as they used this opportunity to take stock of our experience of the pandemic, what to expect as SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve, and what we have learned for future pandemic preparedness. This online webinar includes a brief presentation by Fahad Razak, the past Scientific Director of the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, followed by a panel discussion of leaders from the Institute for Pandemics, Nelson Lee (Director), David Fisman (Readiness Theme Lead), Sara Allin (Resilience Theme Lead), and Geoff Anderson (Recovery Theme Lead), moderated by Adalsteinn Brown, Dean of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
