Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a public health challenge it is a broad, complex, and dynamic social and human challenge. The HSRC, as South Africa's public social science research institute, has undertaken a wide range of research projects exploring the social and human dynamics of the pandemic, both to increase our knowledge and to inform public policy.
