The crucial role the field epidemiology training program played in preparedness and response to the Covid-19 pandemic in Sierra Leone, January 2020 to August 2022
Background: On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHIEC). On March 11, 2020, it was characterized as a pandemic, prompting the Government of Sierra Leone to implement response plans. The first case in the country was reported on March 31, 2020.
