Episode Synopsis

Thank you for joining us for episode 32 of OccPod, the official podcast of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. This episode continues the COVID Conversations series, which is dedicated to sharing the latest COVID-19 news, and frame conversations through the lens of science with a focus on OEM, or occupational and environmental medicine. As conversations surrounding serious illness and the pandemic begin to dissipate, OccPod will begin to shift to other topics and series, such as OccPod: Climate Conversations.
In this episode, Erin, Dr. Nabeel, and Dr. Berenji discuss the Omicron Variant of COVID-19, mitigating disease presence in wastewater, and the implications of lifting mask mandates. As emerging variants of the virus spread across the country, the OccPod hosts discuss the evolving nature of managing a public health crisis. As always, thank you for joining us for another episode of COVID Conversations!
