COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that first began to spread across the world at the end of 2019, causing unprecedented disruption and tragic loss of human life. Highly infectious, COVID-19 caused a global pandemic, which led to a worldwide lockdown of various scales and the movement of populations restricted. A global vaccine program was introduced in 2020 and restrictions gradually reduced over the next 18 months.
