Coronavirus

Since late 2019, millions of deaths worldwide have been caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (i.e., the coronavirus that causes COVID–19). Health/medical professionals and researchers have rapidly generated knowledge regarding the diagnosis, management, and treatment of COVID–19 on a mass-scale with an aim to contain the virus and prevent further impactions to individuals and the population at large. However, cases remain high and are rising in certain areas, and many more questions regarding the long-term effects of COVID–19 are being asked.

The scope of the collection includes but is not limited to:

• Genetic properties of COVID–19 variants
• Health implications of COVID–19 in different populations
• Current and prospective patient-centred treatment and preventative strategies
• Current and prospective public health interventions
• Long-term vaccination efficacy
• Clinical trial data collected during and after the pandemic
