Diagnostic value of chest computed tomography imaging for COVID-19 based on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction: a meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe results of this study showed that CT diagnosis of COVID-19 was close to the reference standard. The diagnostic value of chest CT may be further enhanced if there is a unified COVID-19 diagnostic standard. However, please pay attention to rational use of CT.Graphic Abstract (Source: Infectious Diseases of Poverty)

COVID-19 vaccination program in the mainland of China: a subnational descriptive analysis on target population size and current progress
ConclusionsDisparities exist in the target population size and vaccination progress across provinces in the mainland of China. China has made great strides in the vaccination speed since roll-out, and could basically achieve the targeted vaccine coverage.Graphic Abstract (Source: Infectious Diseases of Poverty)
