The COVID-19 Information Corner gathers in a single space selected resources that relate to the safe management of breast cancer screening and care during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as guidelines, technical documents or protocols.

The objective of this space is to offer support to healthcare professionals and other stakeholders in the planning, commissioning and organising of breast cancer services in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The webpages of the developers included in the ECIBC's catalogue of international guidelines were consulted to identify resources that relate to breast cancer care, including early diagnosis, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The resources presented in the COVID-19 Information Corner are selected based on the below inclusion and exclusion criteria.
