Foreword

Fall is upon us. The traditional sense that fall is a time for renewal has, as with everything 2020, been disrupted. The loosening of restrictions over the summer across the world saw spikes in COVID-19 cases. Thankfully while case number is trending upward, the healthcare system remains in good shape across the country. The same cannot be said for testing sites, however. Long queues, overloaded labs and overworked public health contact tracing have refreshed concerns we will be heading into second wave that may even be worse than the first wave.

We have assembled lots of clinical resources on COVID-19 from leading clinicians, scientists and other authoritative sources to guide you along our next COVID-19 chapter.
