This research project provides evidence-based scientific methods for preventing SARSCoV2. SARSCoV2 is a viral pathogen responsible for causing COVID-19 infections in human populations. Educating Texans about the importance of using technology, wearing masks, social distancing, hand washing, screening, vaccination, and developing more interagency cooperation between the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and other local health departments is essential for preventing more epidemics and or pandemics. Establishing more state agencies between the Texas Department of State of Health Services (DSHS) and local health departments could bridge the existing gap between the DSHS and local health departments. Mitigating this gap is one fundamental solution for preventing epidemics or pandemics in the future.
