Leading the COVID-19 Response
Albert research published by the CDC regarding COVID-19 symptoms.
Albert played a significant role in the early response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating leadership and insight that contributed to our understanding of the virus. He was among the first to implement widespread mass testing efforts, recognizing the importance of early detection in managing the spread of the disease. His proactive approach helped set a precedent for large-scale testing initiatives across the country.
Perhaps most notably, Albert made a crucial observation regarding COVID-19 symptoms that initially faced skepticism from health authorities. He identified gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms as potential indicators of the virus, a finding that was not initially recognized by the CDC. Undeterred by initial doubts, Albert collaborated with 11 other doctors to conduct rapid research on the topic.
Their findings, published on April 27th and now available on the CDC website, officially recognized GI involvement and diarrhea as symptoms of COVID-19. This research, which includes Albert’s name, played a vital role in expanding our understanding of the virus’s manifestations and improving diagnostic criteria.

tHE NEW RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:
Life After Coronavirus
Infectious outbreaks are like natural disasters: we never know when they will strike. We don’t know how much worse the COVID-19 pandemic will get or when the next outbreak will strike, but there’s no doubt that there will be many more pandemics in the future. It’s even possible that the next one will be far deadlier than the coronavirus pandemic currently plaguing the world.
The time for planning for the next outbreak isn’t after people start falling ill with a new contagion. The time to plan for the next one is now, before the painful memories of our unpreparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic fade.
Dr. Albert Munanga wrote The New Rules of Engagement in 2020 to help individuals and institutions prepare for the next outbreak. Dr. Munanga’s handbook provides practical advice about containing diseases like COVID-19 in congregant living settings, including individual households. A powerful reminder that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
