Public Health Ethics and Risk Communication in a Pandemic by Health Policy

Mark Krutzinna

Risk reduction during emergencies and epidemics depends on effectively communicating public health advice, and ethical communication advice places a strong emphasis on being completely open. However, communicating during the epidemic has occasionally been difficult, in part because being transparent can be difficult from a practical and conceptual standpoint. When scientific understanding of COVID-19 was changing and there was hesitation to accept that concerns about resource limitation were impacting public health recommendations, a unique dilemma arose.
