Abstract:
Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been the focus of global attention since its outbreak. With the rapid spreading of COVID-19, serious challenges including medical management system, medical resources, emergency response, medical devices and instruments gradually occur, revealing many shortcomings among these aspects. Herein, through the principles, viewpoints and methods of biomechanics, this article recognizes and analyzes the existing problems that are urgently needed to be solved, such as the study of in-vitro viability of the virus, the biomechanics of aerosol, the fluid mechanics in public transportation and places, the relationship between respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases, the improvement of medical devices, with an objective of taking advantages of biomechanics in epidemic prevention and control, so as to promote the development of biomechanics.
