Neutrophils are more innate immune cells found in coronavirus disease in 2019(COVID-19). The accounting of neutrophils and the level of plasma neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs) were positively correlated with the severity of COVID-19. This article reviews the relevant studies of neutrophils, formation and degradation of NETs involved in the pathological process of COVID-19, providing the reference for further studies of pathogenesis and intervention.
