COVID-19, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019, is a contagious disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 (formerly 2019-nCoV). Presumably it is a zoonosis. The disease surfaced at the end of 2019 and is so prevalent that it became the coronavirus pandemic from 11 March 2020. It caused lockdowns in numerous countries.[1]
The terms Chinese griep or China virus have been used to describe the virus, and have been considered to be derogative terminologies.[2]
