Main article: COVID-19 pandemic

The timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic lists the articles containing the chronology and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2,[1] the virus that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first human cases of COVID-19 were identified in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, in December 2019.[2] The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and a pandemic on 11 March 2020.[3][4][5] At the current stage of the pandemic (February 2022), it is not possible to conclusively determine precisely how humans in mainland China were initially or previously infected with the virus, called SARS-CoV-2.[6] Furthermore, some developments may become known or fully understood only in retrospect.
