Following up on the July feature, the Confounder Team highlighted the great work of more students who spent their summer assisting with COVID-19 response at the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH).
As mentioned in the first article on the FCBOH, a number of Emory EPI students have been hard at work conducting surveillance activities and contributing to Fulton County EPI reports on changes in COVID-19 trends. While public health as a field has certainly taken on a renewed sense of national importance in the wake of the United States’ struggles to control COVID-19, the multitude of actions that compose local public health work, from collaborations between multidisciplinary response teams to person-person interactions in case investigations, are more vital than ever.
