Public health experts have long discussed the possibility of Disease X, the unknown pathogen that could emerge and create a significant global response. In 2020, that Disease X appeared as COVID-19. The fall 2020 edition of Updates from the Field features stories that highlight how CDC and partner organizations’ investments in global health security programs and activities helped better prepare countries for COVID-19.
Investments in core health system components such as workforce, surveillance, laboratory, and emergency management and response have built and strengthened public health systems that will safeguard our ability to respond to COVID-19 and future public health crises.
