COVID-19: Special Populations

Latest Literature from PubMed

A literature search was developed for COVID-19 and combined with a search for the distinct special populations below. Please note that this is not a curated list, but rather an automated search that retrieves articles based on the search strategy. This means that false positive articles (e.g., articles not on one of the special populations) may appear.
