Finding the Balance: Public Health and Social Measures in Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Academy of Sciences is collaborating with the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS), which itself is collaborating with a group called Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL) in response to the current coronavirus pandemic. Through this collaboration, EAS and other African academies are disseminating the RTSL reports and briefs. These briefs include timely data and information on non-pharmacological approaches to flattening the COVID-19 curve. The EAS is hereby sharing the reports and briefs for possible policy input and the data to help in making policy decisions.
