Special Issue on Challenges and Transformations in Society


COVID-19: Challenges and Transformations in Society explores the widespread impacts of the pandemic on global health, economies, and social structures. The crisis has highlighted existing inequalities, disrupted daily life, and forced rapid changes in work, education, and healthcare delivery. Social distancing, remote work, and digital learning have become the norm, while governments face unprecedented challenges in managing public health and economic recovery. At the same time, the pandemic has accelerated technological adoption, prompted shifts in cultural behaviors, and ignited discussions on global health governance, public policy, and the resilience of societies in the face of crises.


In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Challenges and Transformations in Society. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:


  • Digital learning
  • E-commerce boom
  • Economic recession
  • Education system adaptation
  • Global supply chain disruption

  • Healthcare system strain
  • Lockdown measures

  • Misinformation and media
  • Pandemic response strategies
  • Pandemic-induced poverty
  • Public health crisis
  • Remote work
  • Social distancing
  • Social inequality
  • Telemedicine growth
