They have effectively curbed further widespread infection and taken measures to ensure a safe and smart return to daily life. Experts working in the frontline will share at the webinar their first-hand experiences, measures taken to counter the virus and lessons learnt, which could contribute to future preparations in other countries and offer a way forward to build resilience against similar pandemics.
