County Continues Webinar Series on Thursday with ‘Forecasting COVID-19 Cases in Southeastern PA’

By

The Chester County COVID-19 Business Task Force will host the fourth in a series of free webinars on Thursday, June 25 at 11 AM. This webinar will feature Dr. David Rubin, of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Rubin is the director of the PolicyLab at CHOP, which has developed a model for specific counties that looks at weather, social distancing data, and population density to predict future cases.

The majority of Dr. Rubin’s talk will center on the model and will include updated data from as recently as the day before the webinar. He will also cover more general issues like the definition of a virus and how COVID-19 is transmitted.

The webinar is free and will be hosted by Chester County Commissioners Marian Moskowitz, Josh Maxwell, and Michelle Kichline. It is backed by the county’s nine chambers of commerce and other economic, education, and government leaders – all members of the COVID-19 Business Task Force and its Restore Chester County initiative.

Slides and resources from previous webinars can be found here, where businesses, organizations, and residents can navigate through materials and other reopening guidelines with both overall and industry-specific guidance relating to COVID-19.
