Global connections

Greetings dear readers, it is a pleasure to bring another edition of the Journal of Wound Care (JWC) Silk Road Supplement. The global pandemic with COVID-19 has been escalating with the third wave hitting Europe now. India also has reported a surge in cases. Vaccinations are being carried out in most countries to achieve herd immunity. It is a slow and tedious process.

Meanwhile, everyone else is carrying on with their daily activities by going virtual. Meetings, webinars and conferences are all being held virtually. International flights are also not fully operational and many countries are still imposing quarantine. We hope the whole world will go back to some semblance of normalcy. However, the new norm is here to stay and standard operating procedures have to be followed even if you have been vaccinated. Some countries have started their home nursing teams so that the average patient with a wound will be able to get their dressings attended to in the comforts of their home.
