What questions should a COVID public inquiry answer?

Countries around the world are holding inquiries into how well they responded to COVID-19. These audits will review things like: how well prepared health systems were, how the pandemic was managed (from PPE supplies to contact tracing), and the immediate and longer-term impacts. Here we look at some of the questions inquiries should be asking, and summarize research around the most frequently-asked questions.

This showcase is part of COVID and Beyond: Living with Pandemics, a platform sponsored by scholarly publishers to help more people find, understand and act on research about coronavirus, pandemics and other respiratory, zoonotic and viral diseases.
