In the webinar, Prof. Maggie R. Hu, Prof. Kin-on Kwok, and Prof. Michael Z. Song were invited to share their perspectives on individual self-protective responses and public policy responses to COVID-19 on both the local and global levels. The webinar covered three main topics: (1) COVID-19 and travel activities: local and global evidence from Airbnb; (2) epidemiological characteristics of laboratory confirmed cases of the COVID-19 epidemic in Hong Kong; and (3) containing COVID-19 by testing and contact tracing: evidence from Asia, Europe, and the U.S. It is expected that a combination of individual and policy responses will help to control the pandemic around the world.
Around 40 participants attended the webinar.
