National Nurses United Covid-19 Bibliography
This is an annotated bibliography of some of the relevant scientific literature on SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19.

Protections for nurses and other health care workers should be proactive and preventive, based on the precautionary principle, rather than reactive to Covid-19.
