The notes of the meeting can be seen here: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wikidata_covid_notes

User:Csisc is interested in bringing COVID-19 citation network from Open Citations to Wikidata. The User:OpenCitations_Bot is lead by him, and hopefully it will be soon ready to go!
User:Gnoeee presented a bit about what they are doing at the Wikidata India COVID-19 task force. Great curation of case count data and nice integration to Wikipedia pages.
User:Mxn is doing an amazing work at improving the usage of tabular data on Wikimedia Commons / Wikipedia / Wikidata. You can check his scraper bot that adds data from California counties here: https://github.com/1ec5/external-data-bot/ ; his Lua Module for getting this info from Wikidata to Wikipedia here: en:Module:Medical_cases_data and a brief introduction to this discussion here: Wikidata:WikiProject_COVID-19/tabular_data.
User:Librarian_lena shared the work of the Wikidata Working Hours from a partnership of librarians from 4 different US universities. The recent Wikidata:WikiProject_Linked_Data_for_Production#Wikidata_Working_Hours Working Hours (Wikidata "sprints") have been about COVID-19 bibliographic data.

New models are encouraged! Recently, data models for COVID-19 articles and commercial tests have been started. Help needed to:
- Find and create related EntitySchemas.
- Build visualizations of item completeness/validation
A call happened with the National Digital Library of India. They have a great COVID-19 repository and are looking for collaborations. See call notes in https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/NDLI_COVID-19.
