From an epidemic to a pandemic
The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The term pandemic refers to multiple outbreaks of an infectious illness threatening multiple parts of the world at the same time. When the transmission is this widespread, it can no longer be traced back to the country where it originated. After an initial relaxation of lockdown restrictions, countries have reintroduced tighter rules as the number of cases worldwide continues to increase.
