Traditional food markets are important for the welfare and livelihoods of thousands of families in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). During the current COVID-19 pandemic, these markets have been identified as important locations for the spread of COVID-19. The establishment of control measures to reduce risk of infection in traditional food markets is an urgent need. However, it is also important that these measures are developed collaboratively with those that may be affected, taking into account the adverse effects that strict controls may have on thousands of families whose lives depend on the markets. In this proposal we build on ongoing projects in two localities of Bolivia and Peru and on requests to members of the research team to support COVID-19 response in these localities, particularly in relation to controls in markets. Our strategy to tackle this complex issue uses research methods from different disciplines such as epidemiology, microbiology and the social sciences. We will provide a program to reduce COVID-19 transmission in food markets applicable to different countries, a computer tool to simulate, in a virtual market, how changing the way the market operates can reduce risk of infection and data on the presence of antibodies and of the virus itself in people at high risk, which could help answer important pending questions about COVID-19 infection. We will also build local capacity of market sellers, regulators and university students, which will be important not only in the current COVID-19 pandemic but to face future public health emergencies.

传统的食品市场对于低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）的数千个家庭的福利和生计很重要。在当前的Covid-19大流行期间，这些市场被确定为Covid-19的重要位置。建立控制措施以减少传统食品市场中感染风险的措施是迫切需要的。但是，考虑到严格控制可能对成千上万的生活依赖市场的家庭产生的不利影响，这些措施与可能受到影响的措施进行协作也很重要。在此提案中，我们基于玻利维亚和秘鲁两个地区的正在进行的项目，并根据研究团队成员的要求支持这些地区的Covid-19响应，尤其是与市场控制有关的响应。我们解决这一复杂问题的策略使用来自流行病学，微生物学和社会科学等不同学科的研究方法。我们将提供一项计划，以减少适用于不同国家的食品市场中的Covid-19传播，这是一种计算机工具，用于在虚拟市场中模拟市场运作方式如何减少感染的风险和有关抗体和病毒本身的数据的数据，这可以帮助回答有关COVID-COVID-COVID-19的重要问题。我们还将建立市场卖家，监管机构和大学生的当地能力，这不仅在当前的COVID-19大流行中都很重要，而且要面对未来的公共健康紧急情况。
