April 2021
The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Symposium was held virtually via Zoom on April 22, 2021 focusing on the topic of COVID-19 in the Workplace: Creating Safe Workspaces. With over 450 attendees, the event began with six poster presentations followed by a question and answer session. Dr. Mike Osterholm was the keynote presenter and addressed a number of work related concerns, including the highly transmissible variants and the overall impact COVID-19 has had on the workforce. A panel of three experts representing workers from agriculture, health care and retail trade industries discussed measures to keep employees safe in light of health inequities.
