Interview with Emmanuel Lansana, outpatient supervisor at Monrovia’s Redemption Hospital in Liberia, about lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak that can help tackle COVID-19.

Africa is better prepared now to perform research in emerging infections than during the Ebola epidemics in West Africa.

Will new evidence suggesting that the virus is airborne mean we all need to wear masks?

Although there are guidelines on how long people should self-isolate when infected, the data on how long people remain contagious is not yet fully understood.

At least 13.5 million people to miss out on vaccinations due to postponement of campaigns and interruptions in routine vaccinations, with millions more likely to follow.

As we continue to encroach on the environment and erode natural habitats, the likelihood of other diseases like COVID-19 emerging to devastate the planet are high.

Large-scale testing for COVID-19 could help solve some of the mysteries surrounding the virus that are still puzzling scientists.

Imperial model of the spread of COVID-19 implies a suppression strategy could be most effective.
