Dear Pieter and colleagues,   We trust that you are coping and managing in different ways in the present global Covid pandemic. Like every month we send you an overview of (scientific) publications on leprosy recently added to the Infolep website. To search the full collection, please visit www.leprosy-information.org. Lots of information resources are currently being developed related to leprosy, disability, inclusion, and COVID-19. Infolep has developed a key topic page on Leprosy and COVID-19. This is still a work in progress. I would appreciate receiving additional material.  Wishing you the best in the present situation, stay safe and keep well, The Infolep team www.leprosy-information.org info@infolep.org
