Public Health at Risk
The novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most urgent public health crises of the last century; we need to act now to understand critical issues concerning infection, transmission, containment and mitigation of this severe and deadly virus. The UCLA Fielding School of Public Health has been at the forefront providing accurate information to the public and advising the experts.
We are all at risk and we need clear, science-based data on how COVID-19 is affecting and will affect all of our communities in greater Los Angeles, especially those who are most vulnerable among us including older adults, individuals with compromised immune systems (e.g. those in treatment for cancer and autoimmune disorders), and members of our community who lack access to quality health care.
