The rapid spread of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has
led to a pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) across the globe. As of April 8,
2020, there are over 1.4 million cases and 86,000 deaths attributed to the virus worldwide. As a
result, nations have implemented suppression and mitigation strategies to control community
spread, including mandated social distancing, restrictions to non-urgent medical care, and closure
of non-essential businesses. Despite these efforts, the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is ongoing,
creating a public health crisis and impacting the population world-wide.
