The WCTRS COVID-19 Task Force was established in early April 2020. It aims are to investigate the impacts of COVID-19; to clarify what societies had prepared for such a pandemic; to reveal what measures societies are currently taking to fight this pandemic; to suggest what societies should do after this pandemic; and how to generalize the findings from the above tasks to tackle the next waves of COVID-19 and future pandemics.
