The COVID-19 pandemic is a global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the respiratory illness known as COVID-19. The pandemic began in late 2019 in Wuhan, China and has since spread to countries around the world, leading to widespread illness, death, and economic disruption. Research in this area focuses on understanding the virus, developing treatments and vaccines, tracking its spread, and implementing public health measures to control its transmission. This research is crucial for managing the pandemic, protecting public health, and ultimately bringing the outbreak under control.
