Griffith University researchers from International Water Centre and School of Medicine and the Australian Government launch a new tool highlighting the importance of water security for fighting COVID-19 in the Indo-Pacific.
Researchers created the COVID-19 Water Security Risk Index enables governments, communities and organisations to water-based interventions and reduce countries' risks of COVID-19 impacts in the short-term and build long-term resilience.
Dr Lachlan Guthrie, International Water Centre project leader, said washing your hands is vital, it is only one of the many water-related factors that influence risk.
