With the re-emergence of the coronavirus outbreak, how should your government or organization deal with the re-emergence of the Covid-19 outbreak? How could you strengthen detection strategies? What measures should be taken at local, regional and global levels?  How can you implement these measures?

This executive on-line course provides security and health specialists from all sectors with an in-depth and updated analysis of the current Covid-19 situation. It equips participants with effective tools that will enable them to better prevent, detect, and combat the re-emergence of Covid-19 infections.
