We’ve identified a series of topics which we think are particularly relevant.  We’ve prepared short summaries along with links to live searches on Pubmed and Google Scholar.  The evidence trackers for each topic are updated weekly.  

Latest update: 2 October 2020.
You can also see earlier updates below.

With thanks to the Public Health England Knowledge and Library Services team for sharing their Pubmed search strategy for Covid19 and Coronavirus, which we’ve used and adapted.

Please note that the search strategies are pragmatic and specific rather than comprehensive and sensitive.
