A Selection of our School's Covid-19 Research (August 2021)

ALBANY, N.Y. (August 22, 2021) - Since the start of the pandemic, faculty, staff and students at the School of Public Health have worked tirelessly to advance Covid-19 research and response. Our strategic partnership with the New York State Department of Health enabled academic information to be produced in a timely fashion to assist with on-the-ground response in New York. Below, you will find a selection of our faculty's publications on Covid-19, ranging from timely medical investigations to examining face mask guidance by country. This is not a full list (a comprehensive report will be released next month). For any questions about our School's Covid-19 work, please email [email protected].
