The pandemic has resulted in an explosion of knowledge, which has been evolving rapidly over many dimensions, such as symptomology, transmissibility, clinical manifestations, treatment, and prevention.

Topics include understanding SARS-CoV-2, clinical presentation in special populations, potential therapeutics, the effect on healthcare workers, mental health concerns in healthcare providers, regulatory and compliance issues, and the future of healthcare in a post-COVID world.
