Current and prospection of Covid-19 pandemic

Introduction

Covid-19, a coronavirus pandemic initially developed in the city of Wuhan, had spread to almost every corner of the earth. As the end of March 2020, more than 500,000 confirmed cases and 25,000+ death have been reported globally. It is not the first time for the family of coronavirus to induce global concerns to our modern world. Examples includes for not limited to the 2003 SARS and 2012 MERS. It is critical to investigate and review the fundamental and the clinical knowledge of such virus. Hopefully, the knowledge provided from basic research and clinical will shed potential therapeutic strategies and recover more lives under the shadow of such pandemic.

Biology and Medicine plans to publish this Special Issue with the hope of spreading the knowledge and pioneering work shared in this Issue can shed light on future directions of CoV research. All manuscripts accepted from this Call for Papers will be included in a unique online article collection, further highlighting this important topic.
