In 2020, we collected videos from the public health community across the country in an effort to capture the roles public health professionals play during a pandemic. It also allowed public health workers to share their experiences about the COVID-19 response.  

Public health professionals are still combatting the COVID-19 pandemic. The following resources are updated periodically.

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website
• World Health Organization website
• National Institutes of Health website
• FDA COVID-19 FAQs
• APHA COVID-19 page
• ASTHO COVID-19 page
• NACCHO COVID-19 page
• CSTE Preparedness & Response
• APHL COVID-19 page
• ASPPH resources generated by public health schools and programs
• The Network for Public Health Law COVID-19 page
• de Beaumont Foundation COVID-19 page
