The World Travel & Tourism Council will host a new event to examine the scientific evidence that can be used to inform practical solutions for mitigating and living with Covid-19.
Hosted in partnership with Carnival Corporation, the event will take place on July 23rd.
Taking place from 14:00-17:30 GMT, the event is open to the public and will share the latest scientific knowledge and evidence-based best practices related to prevention, detection, treatment and mitigation of the virus.
It is the latest initiative to continue building global understanding concerning Covid-19’s impact on society, including travel and tourism.
The summit will consider practices from the leading scientists and health experts for mitigating the spread of the virus.
It will bring together a robust line-up of world renowned medical, epidemiology and public health experts to explore and share the latest best practice on the science of Covid-19 and how best to address the many practical questions people have about the disease.
Speakers and panellists represent a diverse range of science, research, clinical, academic, policy and business backgrounds, including amongst others, members of Scientists to Stop Covid-19, who have volunteered to participate.
Gloria Guevara, WTTC chief executive, said: “I was excited when Arnold, on behalf of Carnival Corporation, approached me with this idea.
“This event will be a powerful platform for harnessing the best thinking from across all fields of knowledge in the public and private sectors.
“The science of this virus is rapidly evolving, and these real-time insights will be invaluable in helping us determine evidence-based protection and mitigation measures to combat Covid-19.
“They will also help drive global alignment and collaboration on the frontiers of science and policy, which is critical to the survival of this important sector.”
