Yesterday LOINC held a special public webinar to update the health terminology community on how their team is responding to the current pandemic, including ongoing collaboration with other Standards Development Organization's such as SNOMED International.

LOINC has changed some of the processes for creating and providing interim content during this time.

To make it easier, LOINC is providing a number new ways to stay updated:

• All of the new terms that have been created for SARS-CoV-2 can be found on the LOINC Prerelease Terms page: https://loinc.org/prerelease/
• You can sign-up to receive email notifications every time new prerelease Special Use LOINC terms are created and updated: https://loinc.org/prerelease/
• Follow @LOINC on twitter to receive timely updates for Special Use LOINC term
• Visit the dedicated SARS-CoV-2 Information and Frequently Asked Questions page: https://loinc.org/sars-coronavirus-2/
• If you are a manufacturers of IVD test kits, contact LOINC should you wish to see your product listed on their website
• LOINC team is currently finding the best way to provide Special Use prerelease LOINC terms via FHIR Terminology server, if you are a FHIR expert that has ideas or recommendations please contact their team: https://loinc.org/contact
