Latin America is a global hotspot for COVID-19. With only 8% of the world’s population, it has 43% of the average daily deaths (about 5.5 million).

During this live webinar on September 2nd, Dr. Rafael Lozano, director of Health Systems at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluations (IHME) presented projections until December 2020 for Latin America alongside the newest data of mobility and public policy from the UM Observatory presented by Dr. Felicia Knaul, director of the Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas at the University of Miami (UM). The two were joined by Dr. Michael Touchton, Dr. Julio Frenk, Dr. Rifat Atun, and Dr. Patricia Garcia in this webinar that was simultaneously translated into English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
