In this article we explore preliminary findings from the study COVIDSafe and Beyond: Perceptions and Practices conducted in Australia in 2020. The study involved a survey followed by interviews, and aimed to capture the dynamic ways in which members of the Australian public perceive the impact of Covid practices – especially public health measures like the introduction of physical and social distancing, compulsory mask wearing, and contact tracing. In the rescripting of public space, different notions of formal and informal surveillance, along with different textures of mediated and social care, appeared. In this article, we explore perceptions around divergent forms of surveillance across social, technological, governmental modes, and the relationship of surveillance to care in our media and cultural practices. What does it mean to care for self and others during a pandemic? How does care get enacted in, and through, media interfaces and public interaction?

Health communicators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed an integrated model titled Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication (CERC) as a tool to educate and equip public health professionals for the expanding communication responsibilities of public health in emergency situations. This essay focuses on CERC as a general theoretical framework for explaining how health communication functions within the contexts of risk and crisis. Specifically, the authors provide an overview of CERC and examine the relationship of risk communication to crisis communication, the role of communication in emergency response, and the theoretical underpinnings of CERC. The article offers an initial set of propositions based on the CERC framework and concludes with a discussion of future directions.

The third edition of Social Injustice and Public Health provides a comprehensive, up-to-date resource on the relationship of social injustice to the broad field of public health. It includes 29 chapters and many text boxes on a wide range of relevant issues written by 78 contributors who are expert in their respective areas of work. The book includes many descriptions of social injustice and its adverse effects on health, supplemented with many tables, graphs, photographs, and case examples—and many recommendations on what needs to be done to address social injustice. Social Injustice and Public Health is divided into four parts. Part I describes the nature of social injustice and its overall impact on public health. Part II describes how the health of specific population groups is affected by social injustice. Part III describes how social injustice adversely impacts various aspects of health, such as infectious diseases, nutrition, noncommunicable diseases, mental health, and violence. Part IV broadly addresses what needs to be done, from a variety of perspectives, ranging from addressing social injustice in a human rights context, to strengthening communities, to promoting equitable and sustainable human development.
