Welcome Please note we’ll be taking a short break next week – the alert will be back on 28th August.
COVID-19 Evidence alert is a weekly update highlighting emerging evidence on the following key topics identified as useful in supporting Covid recovery planning:
This update follows on from a series of rapid evidence scans on these key topics, with corresponding evidence trackers providing details of relevant papers.
Due to the time taken to compile alerts, we’re no longer providing summaries and instead present abstracts where available.
We are also working on other key areas of interest such as impacts on inequalities and marginalised groups, which will be added to the alert once completed.
Analytical Collaboration for COVID-19
As previously described the collaboration are supporting ad hoc immediate questions raised by national bodies but are also using their expertise to focus on questions that the NHS may lack the immediate resources to look at, which may be more medium-term, cut across sectors, or benefit from independent analysis.
This update forms part of a national evidence update service, provided by the Strategy Unit, as part of a collaboration to provide analytical support to the health and care system to help in the fight against COVID-19.
