Presentation Overview:
With the holidays approaching and COVID-19 rates rapidly increasing, it’s important to review what we know thus far about this virus. In this presentation, we will provide an update on COVID-19 in Greater Cincinnati, illustrating current, worrisome trends in disease activity and models informing potential paths forward. In so doing, we will highlight how our approach to situational awareness for hospitals and healthcare systems has been extended to other sectors (e.g., public health, congregate care, and schools). We will also discuss how these methods have similarly been used to optimize testing and promote clear communication with key stakeholders, including with the public.
