The COVID-19 pandemic has been described to be the greatest challenge for the world since the Great Depression and the Second World War. No country and its people had anticipated that they would have to deal with a crisis of such a large scale. The coronavirus, which first originated in the city of Wuhan, capital of China’s Hubei province, in December last year has now spread to almost every part of the planet and at the time of writing has infected more than
forty million people worldwide and killed more than one million people.
