Description

Epidemics are infectious (easily spread) diseases that spread quickly in a large area, or country. They can cause widespread sickness and even death. When an epidemic gets out of control and spreads to many countries or regions of the world, it is called a pandemic. Cholera, SARS and COVID-19 are some examples of epidemics that spread across the world to become pandemics.
