Webinar Abstract

After the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic, Europe has become an epicenter of the outbreak. Recently, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States has also increased rapidly, and various state and local governments have adopted control measures such as shelter-in-place. During the COVID-19 outbreak in China, Professor Zhang Wenhong served as the leader of the Shanghai Anti-COVID-19 clinical expert team. He treats patients infected with COVID-19 at their bedside and is also involved in clinical research. In this webinar, Professor Zhang will share with the audience the prevention and control strategies used in Shanghai and his treatment and research experiences.
