On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the epidemic caused by the new coronavirus, Sars-CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19) had become a pandemic, reaching all continents and infecting hundreds of millions of people. Since then, countries around the world have struggled to vaccinate their population and control outbreaks to reach the so-called "post-pandemic" phase.

According to the WHO, a post-pandemic period means that, although the virus has spread to all continents, many people in all age groups in many countries have some immunity to the new virus, at the same time as no large and unusual outbreaks are occurring in neither the Northern or the Southern Hemispheres. Cases of infection are still expected to occur, but at a lower rate than what was experienced during the pandemic.

This market will be resolved based only on official statements from the World Health Organization.
