Coronavirus outbreak knowledge hub
28 January 2020
This pop-up space for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) supports evidence generation by pooling protocols, tools, guidance, templates, and research standards generated by researchers and networks working on the response to this outbreak. Findings from previous outbreaks, largely obtained during MERS and SARS outbreaks, are also available. We aim to make research faster and easier, and to enable standardised, quality data to be collected and prepared for sharing.
