Frontline health workers in COVID-19 prevention and control: rapid evidence synthesis

Countries across the world are introducing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, increasing capacity for quarantine and building capacity of hospitals (particularly intensive care units) to manage positive cases. With efforts to prevent community transmission of COVID-19 being a top priority, ensuring preparedness of frontline health workers (FLHWs) is essential. The Government of India is embarking on a mammoth task to prevent COVID-19 spread among communities. The Rapid Evidence Synthesis team received a request to support the planning and development of resources for ensuring preparedness of FLHWs for COVID-19 . The rapid evidence synthesis was conducted in a period of three days.
