Overview: This course provides a general introduction to emerging respiratory viruses, including novel coronaviruses. By the end of this course, you should be able to describe:
- The nature of emerging respiratory viruses, how to detect and assess an outbreak, strategies for preventing and controlling outbreaks due to novel respiratory viruses;
- What strategies should be used to communicate risk and engage communities to detect, prevent and respond to the emergence of a novel respiratory virus.
There are resources attached to each module to help you dive further into this topic.
Learning objective: Describe the fundamental principles of emerging respiratory viruses and how to effectively respond to an outbreak.
Course duration: Approximately 3 hours.
Certificates: No certificate available at this time.
As the official disease name was established after material creation, any mention of nCoV refers to COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus.

The course will offer a certificate in the future, after all of the modules have been published and a quiz has been added to each module.
The course materials are currently being translated into other languages.
