Fighting the Unseen Enemy: Update from the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force
Webinar with Dr. David Naylor, Co-Chair, COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, Government of Canada
Dr. David Naylor was the head of the national panel that reviewed Canada’s response to the 2003 SARS outbreak. Today he is co-chairing the federal COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, consisting of experts from universities and hospitals across Canada, who are working with local governments and health officials to understand how many Canadians have actually been affected by a disease that can be mild or asymptomatic for many, but severe or even fatal for others. On July 29, join the C.D. Howe Institute’s webinar to hear Dr. Naylor provide insights regarding the course of the pandemic and prospects for Canadians’ safe return to a new normal.
C.D. Howe Institute events and webinars are open to members and their guests.
