Five years on: McMaster experts on COVID anniversary

Five years ago on March 11, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since then, our world has changed in many ways – from how we work and study, to how we prepare for the threat of future pandemics, and how we battle misinformation to get credible information and care to those who need it most.
