Task Team Mandate and Activities

The Task Team was established to create a forum for ASSA members to learn, model, educate, inform, research, debate and influence COVID-19 developments in a positive and constructive way which support and enhance our profession’s commitment to societal and public interest.

The task team was mandated to:

  1. conduct retrospective and prospective analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. mortality, morbidity, impact of interventions, etc.) to identify patterns, learn lessons and to model future risk factors. This will benefit insurance companies and contribute to public policy discussions;
  2. identify market conduct issues that may negatively affect policyholders or bring the profession into disrepute, and develop recommendations to manage identified market conduct issues; and
  3. collaborate with other experts and external stakeholders to develop a body of knowledge for dealing with future pandemics and prepare public policy recommendations.
