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. Current measures against COVID-19 focus on prevention, but advances in diagnostics, treatments and drugs are needed to fight the virus.

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:

• Adjunctive treatment strategies 
• Antiviral therapies 
• Clinical trials 
• Diagnosis tests 
• Drug development 
• Drug safety 
• Therapeutic targets 
• Vaccine development 

Authors should refer to the Instructions for Authors  in preparing  the manuscript and kindly submit it through the Online Submission System directly.

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. We guarantee that all accepted papers related to COVID-19 will be highlighted in a special section on our website.
