Scientific evidence supporting the government response to
COVID-19
The national and global response to the spread of COVID-19
continues to develop quickly and our knowledge of the virus
is growing. These statements and accompanying evidence
demonstrate how our understanding of COVID-19 has evolved as
new data has emerged.
The evidence was often complied very rapidly during a
fast-moving response and should be viewed in this context.
The papers presented here are the best assessment of the
evidence at the time of writing, and their conclusions were
formed on this basis. As new evidence or data
emerges, SAGE updates
its advice accordingly. Therefore, some of the information in
these papers may have been superseded at a later date.
Dynamic reports from the COVID-19 Clinical
Information Network (CO-CIN)have
been provided to SAGE to
highlight ongoing information and evidence about COVID-19 for
a large sample of hospitalised UK patients. As the reports
are dynamic, the data included and analyses change over time
and in each report. Particularly for early reports, there may
be a risk of misinterpretation – it is important that any
potential signals have been confirmed as robust and not taken
out of context. A peer reviewed publication is forthcoming
which reports summary results between 6 February and 19 April
2020. A preprint is currently available at: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.23.20076042v1.full.pdf
This page will be updated on a regular basis with the
latest available evidence provided to SAGE.
