International Outbreak

A.

, COVID-19 2


For task 2, I chose to write about the respiratory syndrome coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in

2019-2020. In this paper I will discuss this international outbreak, the epidemiological

determinants and risk factors, the route of transmission, the impact on my community at a

systems level, the reporting protocol for an outbreak in my community and two strategies to

prevent outbreak in my community.

B. Description of a chosen international outbreak

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the official name of this disease is the

Coronavirus disease COVID-19 and was termed as such on February 11th, 2020. The name of

the actual virus that causes this disease is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus

2 (SARS-CoV-2). On December 31st, 2019, the WHO shared information that the Wuhan

Municipal Health Commissionin Wuhan, China was reporting increasing cases of “viral

pneumonia.” On January 1st, 2020, the WHO requested more information on the cluster of

atypical pneumonia cases in Wuhan and activated the WHO Incident Management Support Team

(IMST). On January 9th, 2020, the WHO reported that Chinese authorities have determined this

outbreak of “atypical pneumonia” was caused by a novel coronavirus and probably surfaced in a

Chinese seafood and poultry market. On January 20th, 2020, the WHO Director-General

declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency. The next day, January 21st,

2020, the first reported case of COVID-19 was reported in the US (WHO, 2020). This disease

has continued to spread globally, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), as of September 18th, 2020, there are 31.2 million confirmed cases of

COVID-19.
