Welcome to Season 3, a Public Health On Call, a podcast from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

I'm Josh Sharfstein, Vice Dean for Public Health Practice and Community Engagement, and a former secretary of Maryland's Health Department.

Our goal is to bring scientific evidence

community leaders, policy experts, public health officials, clinicians, and more. If you have ideas

or questions for us to cover, please email us at public health question

at jhh.edu.

That's public health question at jhhU.edu for future podcast episodes.

on reinfections in a single Kentucky nursing home.

Then we'll hear from Henri Garrison Desanae, a doctoral student in epidemiology at Johns Hopkins,

about two papers, one published in the Lancet from Denmark, and in the Journal of Infection from Brazil.

Let's listen.
