As the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved around the world, it has passed through several phases, raising distinct questions and challenges in each phase. Join us for a retrospective look at one year of the global pandemic.

The scope of her department includes COVID-19 but also other dangerous pathogens such as pandemic influenza, plague, Nipah virus, smallpox and other pox viruses and arboviruses (Zika, and Chikungunya).
