International horizon scanning and learning to inform Wales’ COVID-19 public health response and recovery – 4 February 2021

• All Wales/National

The International Horizon Scanning and Learning work stream was initiated as a product of, and to inform upon, the evolving COVID-19 public health response and recovery plans in Wales. It focuses on COVID-19 international evidence, experience, measures and transition / recovery approaches, to understand and explore solutions for addressing the on-going and emerging health, wellbeing, social and economic impacts (potential harms and benefits).

Topics of focus are:

• Genomic sequencing for COVID-19 (follow up from Report 22)
• Psychological impact of COVID-19 and lockdown fatigue
• Country insights: Israel, Taiwan and South Korea

These reports were used during the period of the Covid 19 pandemic in order to inform the Public Health Wales response and therefore only available in English.
