Associate Professor Jeremy Lim, Co-Director of Global Health was invited by Milken Institute to be part of their COVID-19 Conference Call Series discussing global efforts and approaches in combatting the coronavirus pandemic.
Assoc Prof Lim shared and attributed Singapore’s relatively well-controlled outbreak to the following points:
