The internationally recognized right to health encompasses the right to health-related education and information. The Coronavirus Resources Collection from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provides up-to-date information on COVID-19, along with other resources on prevention, response, and recovery from pandemic infectious disease. The National Academy of Medicine has also put together a specific resource collection on Health Equity in the Context of COVID-19 and Disproportionate Outcomes for Marginalized Groups. 

The National Academies' Societal Experts Action Network has created a COVID-19 Data Guide for Decision-Makers. The rapid consultation guide summarizes the benefits and drawbacks of seven specific COVID-19 measurements that decision-makers can consider as they use these measurements to respond to the outbreak.
