**COVID-19 Resource Centre:** Since January 2020, Elsevier has established a COVID-19 resource centre on Elsevier Connect, providing free information in English and Mandarin about the novel coronavirus. Elsevier grants permission to make all COVID-19-related research available in PubMed Central and other public repositories, with unrestricted reuse and analysis, as long as the resource centre remains active. **Abstracts:** 1. **Characteristics and Outcomes of 21 Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19 in Washington State:** - **Study Details:** A retrospective case series of 21 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU at Evergreen Hospital in Washington between February 20 and March 5, 2020. - **Findings:** The mean age was 70, with 52% male. Most patients (85%) had comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, COPD, and diabetes. Common symptoms included dyspnea, fever, and cough. Nearly two-thirds required mechanical ventilation, and 57.1% developed ARDS. Overall, 67% required vasopressors, and one-third developed cardiomyopathy. At the study's conclusion, 52.4% had died, 9.5% had stabilized, and 38.1% were still critically ill. 2. **Clinical Characteristics and Intrauterine Vertical Transmission Potential of COVID-19 Infection in Nine Pregnant Women:** - **Study Details:** A retrospective chart review of nine pregnant women admitted to Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan, China, with confirmed COVID-19 between January 20 and January 31, 2020. - **Findings:** All patients were in the third trimester, with no baseline comorbidities. Common symptoms included fever, cough, and myalgia. Most had low or normal leukocyte counts, and 56% had lymphopenia. One patient was co-infected with influenza. Vertical transmission was defined as positive testing for COVID-19 in amniotic fluid, cord blood, or neonatal throat samples.**COVID-19 Resource Centre:** Since January 2020, Elsevier has established a COVID-19 resource centre on Elsevier Connect, providing free information in English and Mandarin about the novel coronavirus.
