About this Event
The third COVID-19 webinar will explore the health disparities that COVID-19 has exposed among marginalized populations in Canada.
Is COVID-19 the ‘great equalizer’? Many disagree.
While all levels of governments are trying to find ways to curtail the virus’ spread, measures like physical distancing, precarious employment and the closure of non-essential businesses exposes the disparities between various social and economic groups in Canada.
Canada’s top experts have already sounded the alarm about the presence of COVID-19 in facilities and communities that are home to some of Canada’s most marginalized people.
Our experts will explore the challenges these marginalized people face in light of the public health response to COVID-19.
This webinar is an opportunity for DLSPH alumni and the U of T community to hear the latest from public health professionals and researchers, ask their questions, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue from a public health and health system perspective.
Trusted voices are crucial during these unprecedented times and DLSPH is well-positioned to provide them.
