Go-to resources

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the US has become a go-to resource for many during the pandemic. There's a wealth of resources available on the website, but we particularly recommend its global map tracking the spread of COVID-19 and its live webinars.

The academic journal Science is collating all of its peer-reviewed research papers on COVID-19 and providing free access. If you want something that is easier to digest, take a look at its News section.
The Science Media Centre in the UK quickly provides expert responses to new statistics, the strategies of governments, media stories and new research related to COVID-19.
