Abstract

Coronavirus disease -19 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic and health emergency. Research and studies are ongoing at a rapid pace. It is challenging to keep pace with the published and ongoing research, especially considering the fact that many show conflicting results. Many organizations have produced key evidence sources focusing on scientific studies about the disease. In this article the authors describe a few important evidence sources and examine their strengths and areas requiring attention.
