Abstract

The emergency phase of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is over. Still, the work goes on in understanding the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its evolution, infection impacts – acute and long term – as well as therapeutics and the lessons for preventing and responding to future pandemics. Research into the long-term post-infection effects and therapeutic interventions also expands as the post-infection period lengthens. We provide an overview of the leading edge of COVID-19 research across clinical, epidemiological and social domains.
