When the Michigan Local Public Health Association recently announced that we had commissioned a comprehensive statewide review of the COVID-19 pandemic, a reporter in the room asked how we can read about a pandemic event as it continues.
That’s the question.
COVID-19 is not over, as evidenced by recently announced infection figures. But, in communities across the state, it’s clear that many other people have triumphed over the pandemic. The local public fitness network will continue, vigilantly, doing its homework and protecting our communities, but we recognize that other people are looking to find tactics to, physically, psychologically and economically, and move forward.
However, moving forward without preventing what happened in the last two years would be a significant missed opportunity. The Michigan Local Public Health Association commissioned Lansing public sector experts to conduct a review of key events in Michigan during the COVID-19 pandemic. .
We need to get a lucid examination of what went well and what didn’t. We will produce key recommendations that our leaders can make now, so Michigan can be better prepared for the long term. And we think it’s vital to expand a story oficial. de what happened in Michigan, for long-term leaders to use as a reference.
Local public fitness officials had an exclusive attitude about the COVID-19 pandemic. They were part of the chain of government that included federal and state fitness officials, and were on the front lines of each and every network in the state.
But we also plan to talk about their reports with key stakeholders from businesses, local governments, and others.
Public Sector Consultants brings its experience, specifically in the field of suitability policy. They are famous for their non-partisan technique and fair reputation for generating thorough and comprehensive reviews of complex issues. It is a third party non-governmental and impartial.
And, above all, his work is independent of the public fitness sector. The pandemic has divided our communities and put us at a disadvantage of accepting as true among ourselves, in government, in science. Just as this has left many businesses closed, it has left local public health suffering to retain leaders or recruit a new force of experts in the long run.
This is just a review of the functionality and demanding situations of the suitability of the local public in the pandemic; is a review of the pandemic reaction in Michigan.
They say that those who do not know hitale are doomed to repeat it. As local state public health officials try to fix relationships and move forward to keep communities healthy and safe, we also apply to provide a story that everyone can be informed of. .
