The classical definition includes nothing about population immunity, virology or disease severity. As World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as pandemic in very beginning of year 2020. In COVID-19 CO stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 novel coronavirus' or '2019-nCoV.' The COVID-19 virus is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.
