icon mic

March 28, 2022

Although the U.S. is in a more positive phase of the pandemic than two years ago, many are wondering how long it might last (especially in light of surges abroad) and how we should best prepare for the future. In this episode of the Business Group on Health Podcast, we do a pandemic check-in with incoming White House COVID-19 response coordinator and current dean of Brown University School of Public Health, Dr. Ashish Jha. We discuss the tools available today, the global variation of the virus, and what we’re learning about the impact of long Covid on people, economies and societies, including the policy changes businesses may consider to better respond to employees experiencing it.
