It was initially linked to a seafood market in Wuhan, China, where the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was likely transmitted from animals to humans. The virus, characterized by its high transmissibility and severity of symptoms, caused significant disruption to daily life, economies, and healthcare systems on an unprecedented scale, with far-reaching societal and cultural implications.
