• Rule-out testing and design of safer back-to-work strategies
• Creation of evidence-based Covid-control strategies for developing countries tailored to their local context and health system capabilities
• Design and assessment of strategies for safely reopening the economy
• Data and analytics to support guideline development and policy change
• Development of tools and programs to strengthen high risk and community-level testing, contact tracing, and isolation, and treatment
• Analysis of the costs and benefit-cost ratios of Covid prevention measures
