COVID-19 Guidance Resources
Welcome to the GIN Covid-19 collection
Our aim is to provide the most comprehensive overview of available resources for our members and to avoid duplicating efforts, especially as evidence in this area is constantly under review and being updated. It is for members and guests to select the most relevant resources for their setting.
If your organisation has any relevant resources, especially in languages other than English, please email the links and a short description to covid-19@g-i-n.net
