Abstract

The article not only successfully evaluated regular physical activities can improve mental well-being during self-isolation and social distancing policies related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but also concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to augmented levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme-2. By reading the article of Walid Kamal Abdelbasset, we have some questions and put forward some suggestions on the content of the article.

Keywords: Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2; COVID-19; Mental health; Physical activity

Core Tip: During the coronavirus disease 2019, physical activity declined. There are many reasons behind this phenomenon. And the surveys in the article don’t attach survey area. Additionally, the mutually affected relationship between physical activity and mental health is not clearly elaborated. The above are the areas that need to be improved in the article, and we also put forward some suggestions for improvement.
