RAND COVID-19 Resources

As nationwide community spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) increases, policymakers are grappling with what actions are appropriate and necessary to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on communities, the economy, the nation’s health, and the U.S. health care system. The nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation has a history of supporting policymakers in the area of public health preparedness and response. Below are some recent examples you may find helpful as you look into potential responses to COVID-19.

Keep in mind that our researchers are a resource for you. RAND experts are available to answer questions about the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effects of U.S. outbreaks on hospitals and health care systems, schools, borders and travel policies, and community preparedness. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or would like to speak with a RAND researcher.
