The COVID-19 pandemic in the British Indian Ocean Territory is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 ) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 ). The virus was confirmed to have reached Diego Garcia of the British Indian Ocean Territory in November 2020.[1] [2]
Background [ edit ]
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[3] [4]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003 ,[5] [6] transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[7] [5] Public Health England no longer classified COVID-19 as a "High consequence infectious disease".[6]
