HiPAM Chair, Dr. Victoria Fan, on the Honolulu Star-Advertiser's COVID-19 Care Conversation
The Hawaii Data Collaborative has partnered with the Hawaii Executive Collaborative for a “By the Numbers” series featured on the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s COVID-19 Care Conversation. Every Monday morning during the month of June, we will be inviting some of our partners and collaborators to share how they are using data to help Hawaii address the impacts of COVID-19 in our community. Tune in every Monday in June at 11:00am (HST) to catch the segment!
On Monday, June 8th, Dr. Victoria Fan, Chair of the Hawaii Pandemic Applied Modeling (HiPAM) Work Group and Associate Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, discussed the HiPAM Work Group, why modeling tools driven by Hawaii-specific data are essential, and the importance of testing visitors and contact tracing efforts as part of reopening Hawaii to inbound travelers.
