Acknowledgement
We remember the sacrifice of our friends and colleagues, including the late Dr Alexandre Chao in the SARS-CoV epidemic, who taught us lessons which helped us prepare much better for this fight. We will also like to acknowledge the effort of the frontline medical and paramedical staff, as well as the healthcare volunteers in the current COVID-19 outbreak.
