[Webinar] Living with Covid-19: Where Are We and Where Do We Go from Here?
Covid-19 has had a devastating impact around the world and led to a global economic downturn. With the virus continuing to spread and no specific treatment or vaccine yet available, it is very difficult to predict the path of the virus or an economic recovery.
One person with better insight than most is virologist Peter Piot. Not only is he Director and Handa Professor of Global Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, he has also experienced Covid first-hand, having caught the virus in March.
Professor Piot discussed his research into Covid-19 and other viruses at a Chamber webinar on 5 October, in conversation with HKGCC Vice Chairman Oscar Chow.
Piot agreed that wearing a mask in public areas and among crowds was effective in controlling the spread of virus. He said that he hoped a vaccine could be formulated, tested and available by early 2021 to reduce the likelihood of a major new wave of infections.
