AB  - In  late  2019  a  cluster  of  pneumonia  cases  of  unknown  cause  was  reported  from  the  city  of  Wuhan,  China  in  Hubei  province.  A  novel  coronavirus  designated  SARS-CoV-2  was  determined  to  be  the  cause  which  subsequently  spread  world-wide  causing  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  first  wave  of  the  pandemic,  as  of  this  writing,  is  still  underway.  As  of  the  beginning  of  August,  2020,  documented  cases  reported  to  the  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  have  reached  nearly  18  million  globally  with  the  largest  number  of  cases  in  the  United  States  and  SARS-CoV-2  deaths  are  reported  to  be  nearly  687,000  worldwide.  The  virus  has  spread  to  nearly  all  parts  of  the  globe  but  the  burden  of  disease  has  varied  widely  both  within  and  among  countries.  Given  that  the  pandemic  is  evolving  on  a  daily  basis,  this  chapter  presents  a  snapshot  of  the  situation  which  will  change  with  the  passage  of  time.  Because  of  the  novel  nature  of  this  virus,  it  is  not  possible  to  predict  with  any  degree  of  certainty  how  the  epidemiology  of  the  pandemic  will  progress  in  countries  around  the  world.
