The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, more commonly referred to as Covid-19, presents with symptoms ranging from that of a mild flu to a severe respiratory disease. In extreme cases or in combination with other health conditions, it can be fatal.
Since beginning its spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019, the virus has reached all corners of the world. It triggered the disastrous 2020 coronavirus pandemic, which claimed millions of lives and had a huge impact on the global economy.
Governments scrambled to respond with strict lockdown measures and a race to develop effective treatments. A huge vaccination campaign started across parts of the world in late 2020 and succeeded in improving health outcomes and reducing fatalities. Despite its success, Covid-19 still rages across the world and kills hundreds of people every day.
