COVID-19 Resources

Resources relating to COVID-19

Coronavirus resources
Compiled: 4^th March 2020
Last update: 2^nd September 2020

The list of resources was put together during the planning stage of the COVID-19: a living systematic map of the evidence and has been updated as new resources have emerged. We do not claim that this is an exhaustive list, or that the content of every resource is accurate. The list simply aims to help those looking for research on COVID-19, and users should assess for themselves the relevance and reliability of each source. We have compiled the list based on resources known to our project team members as well as consulting the following sources:

Evidence Aid Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources - https://www.evidenceaid.org/coronavirus-resources/

Highland Health Sciences Library: Coronavirus resources - https://libguides.uhi.ac.uk/hhsl/Coronavirus

Public Health England Knowledge & Library Services - Finding the evidence: Coronavirus
