Follow-up and management of press and media evaluated

This epidemic is being played out on a daily basis on different and multiple media channels. Both internationally and nationally the media can be a source of mis-information as easily as it can be a source of correct information. For this reason and in regard to the high level of tension generated by this disease in affected populations, it will be essential to also make formal briefings to the press. All media channels should be included. The media task-force under the guidance of the TMG will be responsible for a comprehensive strategy to deal with this issue, including training and briefing of staff when and if necessary. This deliverable will evaluate how the media and press management strategy of the trial supported optimum trial delivery.
