- Guidelines for pandemic preparedness for organisations
- Webinar recording – An overview of coronaviruses past and present
Webinar held 5 May 2020
In this Lunchtime Seminar, Sheena Hunt will present an overview of coronaviruses past and present, how and why they infect humans, and why epidemics are becoming more frequent.
We will look at managing COVID-19 alongside seasonal influenza and will also examine the risk of new pandemics (including pandemic influenza or another novel coronavirus).
From an organisational perspective, the seminar will cover the transmission of infection and what actions leaders and risk managers will need to consider as alert levels reduce and we move towards our post-pandemic new normal.
