COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan, China.

Governments and healthcare systems responded by building testing infrastructure, rolling out vaccines, and introducing antiviral therapies.

Chanana, though less visible, demonstrate how private individuals and businesses can help build resilience in challenging times.
