The . name was chosen because the disease is relateable to SARS outbreak in 2003. However, World Health Organisation named the virus as COVID-19 as the new disease on the 11th of Feb 2020.

The SARS pandemic has taught us that.....
1. the need to report openly cases of any disease. They started reporting after a week, therefore it was too late to stop the spreading of the disease.
2. Social and economic consequences must be recognised.
3. Be alert and prepare for the pandemic eg. vaccination. The world brought together 196 countries and they all committed to improving their ability to detect, asses, notify and report public health organisation.

Regional scale: A lot of goods and people come in and out of China everyday. More than 13000 flights each day. Therefore, it is likely that the virus will spread around the world.

Expansion diffusion- occurs when a trend is spread from its originating place, outward. Wuhan attempted to close down to avoid the spread of the virus to other big cities in China.
Solution: Major restaurants temporarily closed down.

Relocation diffusion- is a type of cultural diffuion where the virus moves from one area or place to a new location. For example, the virus started from Wuhan and started spreading very quickly in Italy.

Contagious diffusion: is the rapid, widespread diffusion of the virus throughout the population. For example, number of people getting infected in Thailand increased by 100+ in April.
Solution: Social Distancing.
