In the first instance, the Editorial team of Musculoskeletal Science and Practice sincerely trust that all our readers and contributors and their families are well and safe in these unchartered and very uncertain times. We also hope that people are coping well with the physical and social isolation that is being used as one of the public health strategies worldwide to stop the spread of the virus.
The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly displayed in a very negative way what an interconnected world we live in. We have all been subjected to the very depressing facts and figures surrounding this virus which are coming from all parts of the world.
However, interconnectedness is also key for the world combating this virus physically and emotionally. Interconnectedness has allowed the world to share positive, uplifting effects ranging from singing from balconies in Italy for community support, clapping health workers as a nation to the collaborative research being undertaken worldwide to find a vaccine for COVID-19.
It is important to stay positive and interconnected. Be assured as you read this issue of the journal, you are part of an international group of practitioners and researchers with interconnected interests in musculoskeletal science and practice.
Stay safe and well.
