The point prevalence audit survey (PPAS) was extended to capture presentation and management of patients with acute respiratory tract infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of its research response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU-funded RECOVER project (Rapid European COVID-19 Emergency Research response) has enrolled the first participants in three of its studies. This is an important milestone to answer crucial questions on COVID-19 and inform healthcare workers and policymakers on optimal care and effective public health measures.

The University of Antwerp has launched Rapid European COVID-19 Emergency Research response (RECOVER), in collaboration with 9 international partners. The launch comes in response to the impact of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic in Europe.
