“…Experts identified key knowledge gaps, and research priorities and shared scientific data on ongoing research, thereby accelerating the generation of critical scientific information to contribute to the control the COVID-19 emergency. Eight immediate research actions were proposed as follows: The target of the WHO Research Road Map was: (1) to ensure that the affected people gets proper diagnosis and optimum care, and (2) to support research priorities that lead to development of global research platform. A cross-cutting, inter-disciplinary approach was suggested which looks at the ethical aspects, as well as practical implications with international solidarity.…”

“…Three major characteristics of COVID-19 are: (1) high rate of spread, (2) aged and low immunity people are more vulnerable to be infected, and (3) differential recovery rates in different countries [2]. While the urgent need is to develop the appropriate curative medicines and vaccines, there are different types of ongoing research on this topic.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world in different ways. Not only are people's lives and livelihoods affected, but the virus has also affected people's lifestyles. In the research sector, there have been significant changes, and new research is coming very strongly in the related fields of virology and epidemiology. Similar trends were observed after the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) episodes of 2003 and 2012, respectively. Analyzing 20 years of published scientific papers, this article points out the highlights of coronavirus-related research. Significant progress is observed in the past research related to virology, epidemiology, infectious diseases among others. However, in research linked to public health, its governance, technology, and risk communication there seem to be gap areas. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) global research road map has identified social science-related research as a priority area, more focus needs to be given in the upcoming days for multi, cross and trans-disciplinary research related to public health and disaster risk reduction.the health emergency and disaster risk management (H-EDRM) concept. We also see different governance-related decisions in East Asia which were effective in different stages of the pandemic [2]. Similarly, different innovative technologies have been used for pandemic response in different countries. A comprehensive review of the technology and its innovative use for serving different types of services during lock-down is yet to be done. People's behavior is one of the key aspects of pandemic response. Risk perception, understanding and communication are also linked to behavior change. New research would come out on the behavior as well as social changes during pandemics. There are also tremendous economic implications of the pandemic, which can be observed at global, regional, national and local levels. Some of the economic issues are also linked to the local social issues, especially for micro-, small-and medium-enterprises (MSMEs).Keeping this in mind, this paper makes a modest attempt to analyze past and current research trends related to coronavirus over a period of 20 years. Detailed analysis and discussions are provided from the papers published in last three months. The analysis shows some gaps and issues, which needs to be linked to the global research road map of WHO [4].

“…In order to prevent shortage of protective masks, the government introduced a countrywide five-day rationing system. Moreover, 3 they hired 724 doctors amid the pandemic situation and allocated COVID-19 patients to infectious disease designated hospitals and separated 254 public hospitals for treating other diseases (Shaw et al, 2020).…”

Following detection of the first few COVID-19 cases in early March, Bangladesh has stepped up its efforts to strengthen capacity of the healthcare system to avert a crisis in the event of a surge in the number of cases. This paper sheds light on the preparedness of the healthcare system by examining the spatial distribution of isolation beds across districts and divisions, forecasting the number of ICU units that may be required in the short term and analyzing the availability of frontline healthcare workers to combat the pandemic. As of May 2, COVID-19 cases have been found in 61 of the 64 districts in Bangladesh with Dhaka District being the epicenter. Seventy-one percent of the cases have been identified in 6 neighboring districts, namely, Dhaka, Narayanganj, Gazipur, Narsingdi, Munsiganj and Kishoreganj, which appear to form a spatial cluster.

Prior studies have revealed that community identity promotes participation. However, it remains unclear whether heterogenous community identity profiles emerged and how they differed in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19)‐related community participation. Thus, the current study used a person‐oriented approach to address these issues. A total of 1,083 Chinese residents participated in a national online survey in mid‐March 2020. A latent profile analysis found that residents belonged in one of four community identity profiles: Strong identifiers (43.7%), function‐dominant identifiers (25.0%), emotion‐dominant identifiers (19.8%) and weak identifiers (11.5%). The strong identifiers profile showed the most positive COVID‐19‐related community management attitude and the highest participation intention and participation behaviour among the four profiles. Compared with strong identifiers , other profiles displayed less positive management attitude and lower participation intention and, in turn, exhibited less participation behaviour. The findings can help community organizers and administrators design intervention programs targeting specific subgroups amid the COVID‐19 pandemic. Please refer to the Supplementary Materials section to find this article's Community and Social Impact Statement.
