The inaugural webcast of MIMS's COVID Conversations Series, the event saw more than 3,600 general practitioners and family doctors log-in from 26 countries, with doctors from the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Indonesia comprising the majority of participants.

The webcast featured Professor Ivan Hung, Clinical Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong, as keynote presenter; and Dr. Helmy Haja Mydin, head of The Lung Centre, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as discussant.

The online symposium was aimed at translating the fast-evolving science of COVID-19 patient care into practical clinical pearls for the Asian PCP and providing insights on how clinicians can prepare for the next outbreak. Topics discussed included novel coronavirus transmission, clinical presentations, high-risk populations, COVID-19 diagnosis, general management principles, specific treatments, recommended infection control practices, and the outlook on vaccines.
