The Science Behind The Coronavirus COVID-19

Te Papa Hauora Health Precinct is hosting a public information evening on Coronavirus Covid-19. This is an opportunity for members of the public to hear from experts and ask questions about this rapidly developing situation.

The following issues will be covered:
- Understanding the disease: What is the virus, its features, nature, and how does it infect and affect us?
- Protection: How we can protect ourselves, our families/whanau and community, and what can we tell our tamariki?
- Management: How prepared are we, what actions are being taken to prevent and control the virus, and management plans for an outbreak?

The evening will begin with a presentation followed by an expert panel discussion and question time, led by international infectious diseases expert Professor David Murdoch.

If you are unable to attend but have a question, please email your question and relevant panel member to admin@healthprecinct.org.nz.
