Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the condition caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, our perspectives on healthcare systems and research have changed. This crisis emphasized the connection between clinical practice, health policies and research. On 5 May 2023, the head of the World Health Organization declared “with great hope” an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency. However, the end of the pandemic will not be the end of COVID-19. New SARS-CoV-2 variants are still being detected, and it is necessary to continue protecting the most vulnerable people against the disease and its complications. In this way, many pivotal points are open and need to be clarified by the scientific community, from bench to bedside.
Aim and Scope:
This Special Issue, titled “COVID-19 and Global Chronic Disease 2025: New Challenges”, aims at reporting the state of the art and the new challenges resulting from COVID-19. In particular, we would like to discuss and analyze diagnostic aspects, new therapies, public health policies and social aspects related to this condition and its complications. We invite worldwide eminent scholars and emerging researchers to submit high-scientific-level articles on the topics indicated by the keywords below.
Prof. Dr. Ludovico Abenavoli
