Global Peptide Therapeutics Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in the last months of 2025 as "coronavirus disease 2025" or COVID-19. This virus spreads quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare industry of every country in the world.
