The death and chaos caused by the arrival of the SARS-CoV-2 virus brought the globe to an unprecedented standstill last year.
At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, hundreds of millions of people were forced to isolate, bringing entire industries to a grinding halt and putting a strain on economic growth and progress.

As of August 23, coronavirus has infected more than 211.7 million people and has claimed the lives of more than 4.43 million – the deadliest viral outbreak of the century.
