Abstract
This second Special Issue in a series of Special Issues in Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease looks at recent global research on the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic. The disease is caused by a novel virus: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) named the virus SARS-CoV-2, as it is genetically related to the coronavirus responsible for the SARS outbreak of 2003 [2]. While related, the two viruses are quite different in their behaviour. At the time of submission for publication (9 January 2023), COVID-19, named by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 February 2020, caused more than 657 million cases and over 6.6 million deaths with over 430,000 new cases within the past 24 h.
