377 Medicine and Law Conclusion: This special edition of the WAML Journal on Medical Law and Ethics concerning the coronavirus pandemic is a significant and tremendous effort with special authors from key countries of the world. So far, the extraordinary spread of the virus on a global scale can be mitigated by social distancing and hygiene. There is no effective therapeutic medication and no vaccine has yet been developed. The pandemic has caused global financial impacts and increased unemployment. A number of lessons can be learned from this event. A pandemic requires national and international coordination, planning and implementation. Until the global infection is eradicated, second waves of infection will likely surge. REFERENCE 1.
