The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is now a global pandemic, but a huge knowledge gap remains about the effects of this novel virus on the human body. Given the current global public health threat, there is an urgent need for fast diagnosis, preventive, and therapeutic measures for COVID-19.
For this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and scientists to submit high-quality scientific manuscripts regarding COVID-19. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- COVID-19 complications
- COVID-19 diagnosis
- Genetic analysis
- Medical imaging
- Clinical features and symptoms
- Epidemiological investigation
- Outbreak control and risk assessment
- Transmission mechanism and prevention
- Community health and telemedicine
- COVID-19 and related organs or systems injure
Priority will be given with the same high standards of peer review and publication process for these articles. To help fight the epidemic, authors publishing papers regarding COVID-19 will not be charged any fees and all publications will open free access to all readers.
