Workshop 4: Webinar: Exit strategies for COVID-19 lockdown, what role do regions play?

After the global spread of COVID-19, and the resulting lockdown measurements, many governments and regional authorities are slowly rolling out their lockdown exit plans.
These lockdown exit strategies usually consist of carefully balancing the role of healthy individuals, socio-economic impacts and technological solutions. Many factors influence the success of an exit strategy, but which can we influence ourselves? What can we do as a person to minimise the risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms or spreading the disease?
To gain a better understanding of the different regional approaches to tackling these challenging times, SAPHIRe hosted a webinar on the 16 June; “Exit strategies for COVID-19 lockdown, what role do regions play”.
Sharing knowledge during this global crisis will be a significant factor in our ability to respond and find new ways forward.
