Question

why is covid-19 called pendemic​

Answer 1

Answer:

The WHO declared Covid-19 a pandemic in March, but this refers to the extent of the spread of the disease and not necessarily its severity.

So far, more than 550 000 people have died and more than 12 million cases have been recorded.

This is why Covid-19 has been described as a pandemic and why it is not like the typical flu.

Answer 2

Answer:

The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
