A Covid-19 vaccine candidate being developed in China has been found to be safe and to trigger an antibody response, early results have shown. Researchers said those aged 60 and over were slower to respond to the BBIBP-CorV vaccine, but they said it was "encouraging" that the vaccine did trigger such a response. They also found antibody levels to be lower in those aged 60 to 80 years, compared with those aged 18 to 59.

Study team says Covid-19 patients in intensive care should be asked about hearing loss

New Australian research finds the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can live for up to 28 days on surfaces such as mobile phone screens and ATMs — much longer than previously thought.

The decision to use a database format that dates back to the 1980s has proved to be unwise.

With personal protective equipment still in short supply, researchers at the University of Cincinnati examined what common household fabrics might work best as a face covering. Next to a single-use N95 respirator or surgical mask, UC found the best alternative could be made by a hungry little caterpillar. Silk face masks are comfortable, breathable, and repel moisture, which is a desirable trait in fighting an airborne virus.

Among the million or so lives lost to COVID-19 there are stories that defy understanding. Healthy bodies, young and in their prime, succumb to the virus as easily as if they were among the most vulnerable. While for others in their age group, the vir

Imagine being infected with a deadly virus that makes you impervious to pain. By the time you realize you are infected, it's already too late. You have spread it far and wide.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday that it has agreed to a plan to roll out 120 million rapid-diagnostic tests for the coronavirus. Along with its leading partners, WHO aims to help lower- and middle-income countries make up ground in a testing gap with richer countries.

There are still many things that remain a mystery about COVID-19 and how many organs it affects. There are many reports about the effect of the virus on the heart, lungs, and respiratory systems, but there is growing evidence that it affects the brain too.

Lives likely could've been saved if the White House had focused on people rather than politics when the pandemic began, Vanity Fair reports.

Some COVID-19 survivors are still sick months later. Doctors want to learn why and what they can do

A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that children could be asymptomatic but are likely to be spreaders of the virus. Researchers and scientists worldwide are still puzzled about why it seemed that the virus was not infecting children. Usually, for a respiratory disease like COVID-19, children are more likely to be quickly infected.

Researchers develop a non-needle, nanofiber vaccine platform that could change the way we get vaccinated forever.

The company also said it labeled 98 million posts with warning notices about coronavirus misinformation between March and June.

As the Covid-19 pandemic drags on, there’s one thing we’re all counting on to rescue us from the drudgery of socially-distanced life: a vaccine. How many times have you heard “X won’t happen again until there’s a vaccine”? Concerts, conferences, festivals, sporting events, weddings, and anything else that entails a lot of people being in one place has been put on hold indefinitely—and we miss it. All of it.

“The children are actually better off in school than at home," a Boston school official argued a century ago, echoing the current debate about how schools should respond to the coronavirus pandemic

A novel machine learning model developed by researchers at Michigan State University suggests that mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 genome have made the virus more infectious.

Scientists are using Saturday's three concerts to explore ways of holding mass indoor events safely.

WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says "we have the technology to stop it".
