ONLINE EVENT

On January 23, 2020, the first case of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) was confirmed in Hong Kong. Two years have passed as we witness the virus spreading beyond borders and shifting the ways we work, live, and interact, while new variants of the pandemic continued to emerge. From alpha to omicron, what do the new variants mean for the direction of the pandemic? What are the best ways to curb the virus as Covid cases surge? What are the latest data and scientific research on vaccination? How long will Hong Kong come out of the pandemic?

The Asia Society Hong Kong Center brings you regular updates on the coronavirus story in Hong Kong that has reverberations elsewhere in the world. We are pleased to present on-the-ground public health experts and internationally renowned specialists with the latest facts and evidence-based findings regarding this epidemic outbreak. In the past two years, we have featured over 30 episodes and welcomed nearly 200,000 online views for this groundbreaking series. We deliver the latest Covid-19 updates with Hong Kong and the global community by hosting Prof. Vivian Lin, School of Public Health and Executive Associate Dean (Strategy and Operations), Professor of Public Health Practice at The University of Hong Kong. In this discussion, we will hear her thoughts on the past, present, and future of Covid-19. S. Alice Mong, Executive Director of Asia Society Hong Kong Center will moderate the discussion.
