“As of March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, a pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease where most people do not have immunity. In other words, a pandemic refers to the geographic spread of a virus, not its severity.
What matters is how households, communities, organizations and businesses prepare for potential disruption to normal life if the virus starts to infect more people locally.
