Definition

The COVID-19 pandemic, was a global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The novel virus was first identified from an outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. The WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in January 2020 and a pandemic in March 2020.[1][2][3] As of June 2023, the pandemic had caused more than 750 million cases and 7 million confirmed deaths, making it one of the deadliest in history.[4] The WHO ended its declaration of COVID-19 being a global health emergency in May 2023, but continued to refer to it as a pandemic.[5]

Epidemiology 1

SARS-CoV-2 was a newly discovered virus that is closely related to bat coronaviruses,[6]pangolin coronaviruses,[7] and SARS-CoV. [8]The first known outbreak started in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in November 2019; many early cases were linked to people who had visited the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market there.[9][10][11]

Epidemiology 2

The earliest known infected person fell ill on 1 December 2019. That individual did not have a connection with the later wet market cluster.[12] However, an earlier case may have occurred on 17 November.[13] Molecular clock analysis suggests that the index case is likely to have been infected between mid-October and mid-November 2019.[14][15]The WHO ended its declaration of COVID-19 being a PHEIC on 5 May 2023, however prior to this, some countries had already transitioned their public health approach towards regarding COVID-19 as an endemic disease.[5]

Mitigation 1

Managing an infectious disease outbreak is defined as trying to delay and decrease the epidemic peak, known as flattening the epidemic curve.[16]Non-pharmaceutical interventions that may manage the outbreak include personal preventive measures such as hand hygiene, wearing face masks, and self-quarantine; community measures aimed at physical distancing such as closing schools and cancelling mass gathering events.[17]

Mitigation 2

As of March 2023, more than 5 (point) 5 billion people had received one or more vaccine doses, [18] and there were 11 (point) 8 billion total vaccinations in over 197 countries. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was the most widely used vaccine.[19] According to a June 2022 study, COVID-19 vaccines prevented an additional 14 (point) 4 million to 19 (point) 8 million deaths in 185 countries and territories from 8 December 2020 to 8 December 2021.[20][21]

Impact 1

In terms of mortality there have been a reported total of seven million, forty-four thousand, six hundred and thirty-seven[22] confirmed COVID-induced deaths worldwide. As of January 2023, taking into account likely COVID induced deaths via excess deaths, the 95 percent confidence interval suggests the pandemic to have caused between 16 and 28 (point) 2 million deaths.[23][4]

Impact 2

The pandemic and responses to it damaged the global economy. On 27 February 2020, worries about the outbreak crushed US stock indexes, which posted their sharpest falls since 2008.[24]

Impact 3

The pandemic disrupted food systems worldwide, food access fell – driven by falling incomes, lost remittances, and disruptions to food production.[25] The pandemic and its accompanying lockdowns and travel restrictions slowed movement of food aid. According to the WHO, more than eight hundred million people were undernourished in 2020, "likely related to the fallout of COVID-19".[26][27]

Historical aspect

Life expectancy decreased by 1 (point) 6 years, decreases were seen in 84 percent of countries, due to the pandemic.[28]In terms of its place in history. we find that the GAVI alliance places the COVID-19 pandemic in sixth place, among the deadliest pandemics ever.[29]
