Series 2: Dengue in the Time of COVID-19: Focus on Travellers

With vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 progressing in most countries, consensus is emerging about SARS-CoV-2 evolving towards endemicity. Shifting our paradigm from crisis management to risk management has brought new challenges for all sectors of society. Ensuring travellers’ and workers’ safety while allowing normal life to resume is of paramount concern.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created special challenges in countries that are highly endemic for dengue. In this webinar, our experts will highlight these challenges and bring you the latest, most up to date information. Current clinical findings, effectiveness of control measures including vector control strategies, as well as interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and dengue viruses will be examined. Our webinar will focus on Thailand and Brazil, two very popular travel destinations that are highly endemic for dengue, as these countries currently fight the spread of COVID-19.

Please join the current ISTM Executive Board and the ISTM legal team to discuss the proposed change in status from 501(c)(6) to 501(c)(3).

The COVID-19 pandemic is turning out to be a protracted battle, but at the same time has been an opportunity for health care practitioners to adopt telehealth services more rapidly than previously projected.

ISTM's series of Digital Symposia on COVID-19 continue with a focus on the disproportionate health and economic burdens of the pandemic on vulnerable immigrant and migrant workers communities.

The COVID-19 pandemic is spreading across the globe in an unprecedented way. Governments and health authorities are adopting increasingly restrictive measures to decrease transmission and to “flatten the curve”. The propagation of the SARS-CoV-2 and the impact of the restrictive measures affect disproportionally the most vulnerable individuals and rise inequality.

ISTM's second COVID-19 Digital Symposium will focus on the experience managing the outbreak in various European countries. It is a great opportunity for members to discuss and learn from frontline experts fighting this menace in real time.
