Covid-19 has potentially changed the world as we know it. As the World Health Organization desperately urges countries to consider and address the health impacts of long-Covid, some countries are still struggling to mitigate the pandemic and\/or suffering the economical and psychological effects of the responses to the virus. This symposium aims to consider the potential bioethical implications, dilemmas, and role in a post-Covid world. It will examine, for example, the role of international and national health organizations during Covid and future pandemics. It will also discuss how practices of solidarity played a part in individual and institutional responses to Covid and how they should play a role in future pandemics. The symposium will ultimately seek to understand how the world reacted to Covid, and how we might do better next time.<\/p>\n
