Stanford Pandemic Policy Panel One: Evidence-Based Decision Making During a Pandemic

Pandemic Policy Panel One: Evidence-Based Decision Making During a Pandemic

The interventions undertaken to control the COVID-19 pandemic—stay-at-home orders, extended school closures, social distancing, mask mandates, vaccine mandates—were unprecedented in their scope and global impact. How well did these policies work to protect the public from COVID-19 and what were their unintended consequences? How can scientists better inform pandemic policy in real time during the next pandemic?
