pandemia
Worldwide disease spread
Pandemia is a less common variant of pandemic, referring to a disease outbreak affecting populations across a wide geographic area—typically multiple countries or continents.
The term appears more frequently in Romance languages and scientific literature than in everyday English, where pandemic dominates: The COVID-19 pandemia disrupted global economies.
