Special Issue on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Research

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. As of 3 April 2020, more than 1.01 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in more than two hundred countries and territories, resulting in over 53,000 deaths. More than 211,000 people have recovered.
