APHA’s COVID-19 Information Resources
On June 24, U.S. News & World Report led a discussion about public health policy in the time of the coronavirus pandemic and intensifying awareness of racism as an urgent public health issue.
Hear insights from Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association; Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at George Washington University’s Milken School of Public Health, who previously served as health commissioner for the city of Baltimore; and Anand Parekh, chief medical advisor for the Bipartisan Policy Center, who previously served as deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and worked on a range of public health and policy issues, including emergency preparedness for pandemic influenza.
As the country reopens, how are officials balancing health priorities with policy and economic concerns? What lessons can be learned from responses at the local, state and national levels that might mitigate harm in the future? How can we address systemic racism and the serious health inequities that result?
APHA is urging the public health community to share science-based information with the public and speaking out for funding and support to respond to the outbreak. The page includes information on what APHA is doing, links to the latest guidance, and fact sheets on what you need to know about COVID-19 that can be shared with the public.

COVID-19: A Gender Lens
Disease outbreaks affect women and men differently, and pandemics make existing inequalities for women and girls and discrimination of other marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities and those in extreme poverty, worse. This needs to be considered, given the different impacts surrounding detection and access to treatment for women and men.
Women represent 70 percent of the health and social sector workforce globally and special attention should be given to how their work environment may expose them to discrimination, as well as thinking about their sexual and reproductive health and psychosocial needs as frontline health workers.
