On Wednesday the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic – the first time such a declaration has been made since the H1N1 crisis in 2008, which saw nearly a quarter of the world’s population infected. COVID-19, the disease that is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has been detected in more than 100 nations around the globe according to WHO, which announced earlier in the week that it was detected in Bulgaria, Costa Rica, French Guiana, the Maldives, Malta and Martinique.
