Panel Discussion

Questions that will be discussed by the panellists:

1. Where did COVID-19 come from - is it a zoonosis?
2. How important are animals in current pandemics and how can we mitigate risk?
3. What is the degree of crossover of COVID -19 between animals and humans and how can we prevent this?
3. NZ has gone for an elimination approach – this is similar to other animal epidemics. What can we learn from this approach?
4. What are the approaches of other countries and are they working?
5. Let’s discuss COVID-19 Surveillance - Should this be in animals and people?
6. Focusing on animal health issues – are animals COVID-19 vectors?
7. The impact on Public health of COVID -19 is wider than the disease itself. It has affected livelihoods, mental and physiological wellbeing. Is this avoidable, inevitable, or can it be better managed?
8. How does COVID-19 affect food safety? Can the virus spread through food?
9. When will an effective COVID-19 vaccine be available and will the vaccine mean the end of the pandemic?
