Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been over two years since the first SARS-CoV-2 case was first identified. As we expected at that time, there are many consequences to this outbreak—both short- and long-term, and medical, social, economic, and lifestyle in nature. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the contributors to the Special Issues “SARS-CoV-2 in the Elderly—Series 1” and “SARS-CoV-2 in the Elderly—Series 2”. As COVID-19 has evolved into several new variants on one hand, and a variety of new and emerging therapies and vaccines have changed the trajectory of the illness outcome on the other, it is timely to launch the new edition of this Special Issue, “SARS-CoV-2 in Older People”. We are interested in publishing any type of article in fundamental sciences, medical sciences, pharmacological sciences (including drug discovery), and health service research (including service redesign, service evaluation, and quality improvement projects), as well as case reports and case series reporting novel learning points, management strategies, and clinical trials. We are also interested in geriatric nursing studies in relation to this crisis, as well as social science (social care or the interface between health and social care, other health-related issues due to social isolation, etc.) and health economics studies.
