With community efforts, <abbr>NDPTC<\/abbr> hopes that there will be an increase in personal hygiene and sanitation of high contact areas, in addition to the development of research and outreach activities to help curb the spread of the disease. Pharmaceutical and social solutions are both necessary in flattening the curve.<\/p>\n<p>Through the project, academic, industrial, government and local organizations have come together to share information and critical needs that will better support everyone in the community, especially the first responders and medical personnel on the front lines.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We all need to do our part in protecting vulnerable populations and promoting collective social actions involving the university and other partners involved in risk assessment, preparedness, response and recovery,&rdquo; stated <abbr>NDPTC<\/abbr> Executive Director <strong>Karl Kim<\/strong>. &ldquo;It is a complex problem which will require the attention of multi-disciplinary, innovative and resourceful academia, researchers and others in our community.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uhfoundation.org\/give\/giving-opportunity\/covid-19\">Support the <abbr>UH<\/abbr> Student Relief fund and COVID-19 research<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><abbr>NDPTC<\/abbr> COVID-19 preparedness tips<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Practice non-pharmaceutical interventions now<\/strong><br \/>\nRapidly adopt social distancing and avoid places of large gatherings.
