April 14, 2020
New York City has been the epicenter of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, crisis in the United States, with rapidly rising infection rates and a busy healthcare system working hard to meet the needs of the new influx of patients.

Their research to date, listed below, covers broad topics from the impact of the new ASRM guidelines on fertility patients during COVID-19, to the importance of universal screening, to how the virus impacts pregnant patients.
