Background
Location(s)
Global
Indication(s)
COVID-19
Situation overview
People infected with COVID-19 can have a range of symptoms, from asymptomatic to very severe. Due to the initial limited availability of testing, mild and asymptomatic cases often went unreported. This has prevented the public health community from accurately measuring the spread of COVID-19.
Challenge
Accurately measuring the spread of COVID-19 given the initial limited availability of testing, resulting in mild and asymptomatic cases often going unreported
How we helped
In the early months of the pandemic, EpiPointe developed a survey to gather information on mild and/or unreported cases of COVID-19 who have not required hospitalization within our global communities.
Anticipated outcomes:
- A better understanding of how this disease spreads
- Development of methods to help prevent similar, future pandemics
