Canada's Preparation for and Response to COVID-19

Kumanan Wilson

A project to evaluate Canada’s preparedness and response to the COVID-19 virus. In particular, Dr. Wilson wants to know how well Canada has complied with the International Health Regulations. These Regulations represent an agreement between 196 countries to work together on global health security. The regulations were developed based on the European response to cholera in the 19th century, but were expanded and updated in 2005 in response to SARS. The signatories have agreed to build their capacity to detect, assess, and report on public health events.

Canada's Preparation for and Response to COVID-19

Kumanan Wilson

Le projet consiste à évaluer l’état de préparation et la réponse du Canada face au virus COVID-19. Plus particulièrement, le Dr Wilson veut savoir dans quelle mesure le Canada s’est conformé au Règlement sanitaire international. Le Règlement sanitaire international est un accord signé par 196 pays qui s’engagent à collaborer au profit de la sécurité sanitaire mondiale. Le Règlement a été élaboré en tenant compte de la réponse européenne au choléra au 19e siècle, et a été étendu et actualisé en 2005 en réponse au SRAS. Les signataires ont convenu de renforcer leur capacité à détecter, évaluer et signaler les événements de santé publique.
