Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a Special Issue on “COVID-19 and the Environment: Impacts of a Global Pandemic” on behalf of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH).
The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in China in 2019 and spread worldwide in early 2020. With the spread of COVID-19 and the corresponding negative impact on different life aspects, it has become important to understand the ways to deal with the pandemic as a part of daily life. Numerous studies on COVID-19 have investigated meteorological factors, clinical features, and public health interventions that affect infection and morbidity. However, problems still exist, and more investigation is required. The major challenges are the limitation of accurate/complete data, the effect of restrictions, and variabilities of medical service quality in different countries. In addition, circumstances are dynamically changing due to policies, vaccines, and the advent of new variants all over the world. The investigation correlation between COVID-19 and environmental factors based on the long-term analysis and data curation would lead to better sustainable management of healthcare resources and government policies.
This Special Issue aims to attract articles of high academic standard investigating the links between the COVID-19 pandemic and environmental factors. We welcome original research papers, systematic reviews, and case reports that address topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and environmental factors.
We look forward to your contributions.
