The team reportedly will be a clearinghouse for information on COVID-19 and related knowledge and learning. The outreach will include virtual learning opportunities, so members can participate on their own schedules.
Other goals related to the partnership include collaborations with academia and health care associations and evaluating the needs of small and medium-sized business members.
