Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has now been over two years since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has become clear at this stage that complete eradication of the disease behind it is impossible. Indeed, there have been growing signs of societal acceptance of the fact that we might need to become accustomed to long-term coexistence with COVID-19.
In the context of the need for global pandemic prevention and control, new changes have taken place in public health around the world. As a result of the pandemic’s spread, outdoors activities were reduced to the bare minimum, bringing about problems such as reduced and insufficient physical activity. Social media has been widely used to publish information on disease risks, health lifestyles, and pandemic prevention policies, and public opinion online also affected public awareness of COVID-19 prevention and control policies. Meanwhile, community governance was more obvious in terms of COVID-19 control and citizen health. The prolonged existence of the pandemic has introduced not only attitudinal changes, however; it has also brought forth new challenges to public health.
In order to promote public health in the context of pandemic prevention and control, we are launching this Special Issue on “Public Health Issues under Regular Epidemic Prevention and Control”. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for publishing and sharing the latest progress in public health research, particularly in the context of the pandemic. We welcome scholars from around the world to submit manuscripts such as original articles, case reports, comments, and reviews.
Dr. Guohui Sun
