The Government of India is embarking on a mammoth task to prevent COVID-19 spread among communities. The Rapid Evidence Synthesis team received a request to support the planning and development of resources for ensuring preparedness of  frontline health workers (FLHWs) for COVID-19 . The rapid evidence synthesis was conducted in a period of three days and the findings highlight what can be learnt from recent pandemics such that we are prepared for potential scenarios and challenges due to COVID-19.
