[Keynote Session] A Strong Government Tackling the COVID-19 Crisis
Presentation. Pandemic Preparedness: Are We Ready for the Next One?
Alan Bernstein  CIFAR
 
□ CIFAR President Alan Bernstein, the second keynote speaker and a world-renowned infectious disease researcher, said that as the world becomes more populated and as humanity increasingly encroaches on the natural environment, we face increased risk on a global scale of catastrophic global events such as pandemic, climate change, terrorism, etc. As a result, he added, we are in the midst of a global pandemic.
 
○ In particular, Dr. Bernstein emphasized that Korea’s quarantine model comprising ‘Testing, Tracing, Quarantine’ served as a global role model, and that the use of apps, GPS and Bluetooth was also very effective.
 
○ He also stressed that countries have so far acted quickly and boldly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we should remember that collaboration among countries, public-private partnerships and interface between science and public policy are important for the sake of overcoming global crisis in the future.
