This article is part of the Coronavirus Toolkit, a practical guide to only the best online tools and resources on the Coronavirus.

If you’d like to be notified of whenever the Coronavirus Toolkit has been updated, leave your email address below. We’ll notify you once a week

FAQs

How was this list is compiled? We sourced the most commonly referenced experts across the world’s most respected media publications. We then referenced who those experts followed on social media.

How can I include someone missing from this list? If anyone is missing from this list (or perhaps you feel should be excluded), please email corona@toolkit.guide with a short bio on the person and their social media profiles if they exist.

Is there a Twitter List? Sure, here’s a Twitter list with all the people below along with key organisations such as the World Health Organisation.

How can I be updated about updates to the Toolkit? Two ways at the moment:
