  • COVID-19, a pandemic or not?

    The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    Published:March 13, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(20)30180-8

    The current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), continues to spread, and as of March 11, 2020, it has reached 115 countries, with 119?239 cases and 4287 deaths. In January, WHO decided to define the outbreak of COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern, which triggered the release of funding and other resources. Despite SARS-CoV-2 now being present in every continent apart from Antartica, WHO remains reluctant to make the next step and call the outbreak a pandemic.

    • Did the hesitancy in declaring COVID-19 a pandemic reflect a need to redefine the term? Manfred S Green Published:March 13, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30630-9 WHO's declaration that the global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic1 has contributed greatly to clearing up confusion in the terminology in the professional literature and the media. Discussions on when wide geographical spread of a disease becomes a pandemic tend to recur when the world is confronted with an emerging infectious disease.2, 3 The debate around the terminology used for COVID-19 raises two important questions. The first question is why there was reluctance to call the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the second question is whether the terminology is of any practical importance.

    • COVID-19 and medical education Hanad Ahmed Mohammed Allaf Hussein Elghazaly Published:March 23, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(20)30226-7 The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has rapidly transitioned into a worldwide pandemic. This development has had serious implications for public institutions and raises particular questions for medical schools. Frequent rotations between departments and hospitals make medical students potential vectors for COVID-19. Equally, as trainee doctors we stand to learn a tremendous amount and can contribute to the care of patients, particularly if the UK General Medical Council triggers article 18a of the Medical Student Act (1983).
