What is an epidemic? What are the differences between epidemic and pandemic?

 Today in “Read English Essays”, we are analyising outbreak, epidemic, pandemic and COVID-19 topics.

As you might already know everyone is talking about Coronavirus or COVID-19 nowadays. As a natural result of that people all around the world wonder what an outbreak is or what differences are between epidemic and pandemic.

- It is more wide-spread,
