AB In the COVID-19 pandemic year 2020, the 30th edition of the ERS Congress took place for the first time in a fully virtual format. Despite the challenging nature of the task to create and deliver an online event of this size and scope, the ERS Congress 2020 turned to be a great success, welcoming over 33 000 delegates to the specially designed online platform and offering more than 450 scientific and educational sessions. Somewhat predictable, this year's Congress dedicated a full day on COVID-19 topic, highlighting that infection with SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory disease. In this article the Early Career Members of the Assembly 10 (Respiratory Infections and Tuberculosis) review some of the most interesting sessions including presentations and posters on respiratory infections and tuberculosis that were deemed as important.FootnotesThis manuscript has recently been accepted for publication in the ERJ Open Research.
