OUR RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS
•
Swansea University is at the forefront of research into many facets of the novel coronavirus pandemic. With your help, we’re doing all we can to apply our expertise and help provide solutions. Swansea alumni and friends have had a direct and significant impact on some important elements of this vital work. In the last few months, you have helped us to fund research projects, including: • Studying plasma blood transfusions using donations from recovered Covid-19 patients as treatment for severe Covid-19
Developing low-maintenance, anti-viral copper surface door furniture for clinical settings Examining the experiences of paramedic students that have continued with their clinical practice during the pandemic Analysing public attitudes and behaviours around social distancing
