This includes details of key Australian government departments and global agencies involved in reporting on or combating this pandemic; a short overview on the progress being made; and short bibliography; and a selection of the latest BBC reports on Covid-19. A key reference in the bibliography is the May 2021 report by the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness & Response, entitled ‘Covid-19: Make it the Last Pandemic’.
