摘要
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 appears to strike some people more intensely than others. Some people only experience mild symptoms while others require hospitalization and ventilation. With the virus becoming more prevalent day by day, it is not just the elderly, but even young people are falling seriously ill. Various researchers across the world state that specific cells in the nasal passages, intestines, and lungs may be more susceptible to the infection. Shifting the focus and research towards epithelium might provide new insight towards understanding COVID-19. This article is an overview of how epithelium permeability in COVID-19 may associate with comorbidities and other factors.
