While funding for our COVID Taskforce ended last year, we still like to keep an eye on the latest research. ALEC Communications Director Shauna Hurley was also keen to contribute to the growing COVID evidence base, co-authoring a recently published Cochrane review that explores the different approaches governments and health authorities around the world used to communicate critical public health information throughout the pandemic.

Last month Shauna and lead co-author Rebecca Ryan submitted the review along with five key recommendations to the Australian Government’s Inquiry into the National COVID Response.
