Clinical Health Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Therapeutic and Management Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

In October 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia due to the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapidly spread, first throughout China within 1 month, and then, in a few months, all over the world.  From then on, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the resulting lockdown profoundly changed the lives of people everywhere and influenced attitudes and behaviors. However, the greatest COVID-19 impact was on the healthcare system, which has had to face new challenges due to unexpected and more severe clinical pictures with a multi-organ involvement. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a different impact on the in-hospital and pre-hospital performance indicators of many care pathways.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present clinical and scientific reports that improve our understanding of strategies capable of managing and addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. Authors can provide information about specific integrated care pathways or new treatment approaches to improve the management of SARS-Cov-2 infection.
