Contact tracing and effective quarantine are among the topmost reasons why #covid19 infected regions in the world have low mortality. This requires phenomenal work by #publichealth workers. Technology can aid it but cannot replace the Human Resources. Invest in #publchealth

Crowds and clusters in close contact spread #covid19 faster and wider. #koyambedu & #krmarket are examples. This requires phenomenal work by #publichealth messaging to reach everyone. Technology cannot replace the trained Human Resources. Invest in #publchealth training.

Reducing mortality requires triaging those who have symptoms, testing and interpersonal communication with infected persons. This requires strong primary health care services, not star hospitals. Invest in #publichealth resources & #surveillance. #publichealth saves lives.

Advanced health facilities alone are insufficient to reduce mortality (US, UK). Successful countries followed strong #publichealth response (Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam). Reducing mortality requires #publichealth expertise at every level. #invest in #publichealth systems.
4ofN
Resource intensive pandemic preparedness alone is insufficient to reduce covid19 mortality (US, UK). Successful countries had strong #publichealth leadership (Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam). Invest in building #publichealth leaders for a healthy world.
