COVID-19 is of course a very important topic that should be discussed during this WONCA congress. Therefore, we have asked two experts on this topic to share their knowledge in this plenary session. First Chris Butler, a well-known GP and researcher form Oxford University in the UK will tell us about setting up and managing the largest trial at this moment on treating patients with COVID-19 in primary care. Using a novel trial design his team was able to assess the effects of several treatments which are currently being published, in among other journals, the Lancet. He will update us on latest results of this fascinating and important study that is still ongoing. Migrant patients, and especially them with insecure living circumstances, are at high risk for COVID-19 infection and worse health outcomes. Based on his extensive research in this area and his experiences as a clinician working in a primary care health centre for irregular migrants, prof. Yves Jackson will explain the reasons behind these higher risks, and the relation between social determinants of health and COVID.

Session organised by the International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG), the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) primary care working group and the General practice Research on Infections Network (GRIN)
