My colleagues and I are saddened and angered by these tragic events and we know they are not limited to the recent past. We have seen this time and again in our history and throughout the past 400 years. This must end.

There's a lot of information out there about the coronavirus (COVID-19). The Knowledge Exchange, in partnership with Ohio State University Extension, the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, and CFAES researchers, created the COVID-19 Hub to share the world-class research and knowledge from The Ohio State University directly with Ohioans.

Our statewide network of scientists, Extension professionals, and faculty have been working together to share information and collect resources that you can use to stay informed. You'll find answers to Frequently Asked Questions on our hub and helpful links.
