Please join us for our second webinar in this series as we hear from experts on the prevention, spread, current variants, and vaccines relevant to long COVID. First, Drs. Bhéreur and Filiatrault will address the prevention of COVID-19 infection/reinfection to protect the health of all Canadians and prevent post COVID-19 condition (PCC). They will then provide an overview of the lessons learned from the pandemic and the tools that should be used at the community level to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
