A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. This occurs when a new disease (or a new strain of an existing disease) emerges for which there is little or no immunity in the human population. It begins to cause serious illness, and then spreads easily person-to-person worldwide.

A vaccine to protect people against illness from a pandemic such as Covid-19 may not be developed or readily available until many months after the outbreak.

*Remember to mask up and stay home if you are sick.

The effects of pandemics can vary greatly depending on the severity of the disease, the methods and ease by which it spreads, and the resources that are available to a community. As pandemics evolve, so will Aerospace’s response. Additional information will be provided as necessary.
