Description
The coronavirus SARS-COV-2 and its associated disease, COVID-19, have had profound global effects on the ability to continue scientific research involving human subjects. Investigators leading and participating in these studies need to manage new ethical, health and safety issues in the presence of this highly infectious and potentially fatal disease. Additionally, investigators must account for this major confounding factor when analyzing the research data.Estimated duration
