Impact of COVID-19 in Contemporary World

Abstract

There is a big pandemic in the world caused by SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19-causing coronavirus. In mid-November 2019, this disease first reached the human population in Hubei Province, China, and manifested in Wuhan, Hubei's largest metropolitan city, when a cluster of patients with 'extreme pneumonia of unknown cause' were admitted to hospital in early December. While humanity has survived previous infectious agent pandemics, the current one is remarkable in its ability to take advantage of modern globalization, allowing for a startling pace of rapid transboundary spread.
