The first reports of severe acute respiratory symptoms from a novel coronavirus called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic by March 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a current global health emergency.
