In this editorial piece, the Editors of the Virtual Special Issue (VSI) "The environment, epidemics, and human health" comment on the papers accepted for publication, which were selected after peer-reviewing among all those manuscripts submitted to the Special Issue. In view of the title of the VSI, it is clear that its aim goes beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, trying to explore relations among environmental aspects, any kind of epidemics, and human health. However, COVID-19 is still hitting as a global and current main issue, causing that manuscripts dealing with this disease and the SARS-CoV-2 virus are of high relevance in the whole set of research papers published.
在这篇社论中，“环境、传染病与人类健康”虚拟特刊的编辑们对经过同行评审后被选入特刊的所有投稿论文进行了评论。考虑到特刊的标题，其目的显然不仅仅局限于新冠疫情，而是试图探讨环境因素、各种传染病与人类健康之间的关系。然而，新冠疫情仍在全球范围内持续肆虐，因此涉及该疾病及 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的论文在已发表的全部研究论文中具有重要意义。
