JST PRESTO（Sakigake) Pandemic Resilience and Tohoku University SOKAP-Connect TUPReP Joint International Symposium “The East-West Divide in COVID-19 Mortality: Lessons for Future Pandemics”
COVID-19 has been causing a devastating impact worldwide. However, the mortality rates were significantly different between countries.
Generally, the mortality rates were lower in Asian countries than in the United States and European high-income countries.
Various factors might be involved in such differences between Eastern and Western countries, but the exact reason is still unknown. It is critical to understand these factors to prepare for future pandemics.
The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and Tohoku University organize a joint symposium on COVID-19 to discuss COVID-19 responses in Eastern and Western countries from different perspectives.
