- Title
The Ethics of COVID-19 Risk Communication.
- Authors
Wu, Joseph H.; John, Stephen D.
- Abstract
Yet in the current pandemic, communicating relative risks to encourage behavior change essential to limiting COVID-19 transmission may be less problematic. With the number of COVID-19 deaths continuing to rise, a central issue remains the mitigation of COVID-19 transmission risk. During the 2009-2010 influenza pandemic, for example, public perception that the outbreak was exaggerated correlated with a reduced likelihood of adopting risk-reducing behavior change.[1] Good risk communication is therefore critical to containing the pandemic.
