Description

The COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2020 coincided with large changes in the epidemiology of many other infectious diseases. These changes were likely driven by the large-scale behavioural changes in populations around the world. This talk summarises empirical and modelling investigations on the way that the COVID-19 pandemic (and associated interventions) affected other infectiou diseases.
