- 2021/ November DrPH student The-Phuong Nguyen, a doctoral student conducted a study on predicting the possible trajectory of COVID-19’s Delta variant in Vietnam and published in the Journal of Global Health. The results suggest that the existing public health measures implemented in Ho Chi Minh City were effective but insufficient for controlling the current COVID-19 outbreak. Given the resource constraints faced by the low-to-middle-income country, the study recommends a multifaceted intervention consisting of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical strategies. This study was conceived and developed while Phuong was enrolled in the FY2021 DrPH course Infectious Disease Modeling, under the supervision of Dr. Zoie Wong.
