HKU’s MOOC: Epidemics II could not have come at a more crucial time, with the coronavirus outbreak.

In this course, we will look at the fundamental scientific principles underlying epidemics and the public health actions behind their prevention and control in the 21st century, with follow-up discussions and supplementary content on how these concepts may be helpful to us in better understanding the COVID-19 outbreak.

This is the second (spread of infectious diseases) of the four courses, and will cover the following topics:

Basic Concepts in Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Epidemiologic Triangle: The Pathogen, The Host and The Environment
Evidence Synthesis
Infectious Disease Modelling
