This preliminary description of pediatric U.S. COVID-19 cases reports that relatively few children with COVID-19 are hospitalized, and fewer children than adults experience fever, cough, or shortness of breath. The report also describes severe outcomes reported in children, including three Read More

As of 10 March 2020, Italy has reported 9,172 COVID-19 cases with 463 deaths. This study reports real-time effective reproduction numbers (R(t)) and case fatality rates (CFR) in in selected European countries (Italy, France, Germany, and Spain) by 9 March Read More

This study demonstrates that COVID-19 can be transmitted by asymptomatic carriers during the incubation period. COVID-19 is a worldwide health concern with the total number of cases and transmission events far exceeding those of SARS and H1N1. it is important Read More

This study projected the COVID-19–associated demand for hospital and ICU beds within the United States via an age-structured dynamic model of SARS–CoV-2 transmission, parameterized with the US population demographics and latest estimates from global COVID-19 outbreaks. In the wake of Read More

This study aimed to identify and summarize the existing evidence on epidemiological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and the effectiveness of control measures. This was a systematic review of the published literature and preprints on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. Articles included Read More

This study showed we should expect clusters of transmission, and that enhanced surveillance and contact tracing are essential to minimize it. This case series gathered epidemiological and clinical data from individuals with confirmed COVID-19 from 3 clusters of COVID-19 linked Read More

This study used a simple compartmental deterministic model of COVID-19 transmission in Australia to illustrate the dynamics resulting from shifting or flattening the curve versus completely squashing it. Around the world there are examples of both very good and effective Read More

This study is aimed to predict the incidence of COVID-19 in Iran using data mining methods obtained from Google. COVID-19 is a recent global outbreak affecting 186 countries around the world. Iran is one of the ten most affected countries. Read More

This study summarized the case fatality rate of COVID-19 in Korea compared to other countries. Different countries are seeing different rates of deaths and outcomes. This is partially due to differences in testing, and picking up more mild cases. South Read More
