Answer:
For example, when COVID-19 was limited to Wuhan, China, it was an epidemic. The geographical spread turned it into a pandemic. Endemics, on the other hand, are a constant presence in a specific location. Malaria is endemic to parts of Africa.
Sometimes, epidemiologists consider a situation to be a pandemic only when the disease affects some new areas and sustains there through local transmission.
The term pandemic has a connotation of fear. A pandemic is not easily controllable, often not controllable at all, and health agencies use the term to spread awareness of the seriousness of the disease spread. This word doesn't mean that suddenly any new measures are being taken to combat Coronavirus. It has no legal meaning
