Three Years Later: A Look Back at the Impact of Border Closures on COVID-19

Three years ago, countries around the world implemented an unprecedented series of border closures in a bid to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time there was little real-world data available on whether these border closures were effective.

Now drawing on data from 166 countries, new research is providing valuable insights for policy makers and researchers on whether border closures should form a part of countries’ responses to future pandemic threats.

Join us for a presentation of research recently published in PLOS Global Health on the effectiveness of border closures in slowing the spread of COVID-19. Featuring a discussion with Professor Kelley Lee (Simon Fraser University), this 1-hour webinar will present research findings by the authors and provide an opportunity for questions from the audience.
