LOINC and SNOMED International worked together to code and track SARS-CoV-2 testing and COVID-19 cases, supporting clinicians and researchers in their efforts to address its containment.

Furthermore, CDISC released the Interim User Guide for COVID-19 in April 2020.

With the high rate of global adoption for both LOINC and SNOMED CT standards, the ability to encode both laboratory and clinical information will help to support those on the ground facing the virus.
