Abstract

The world is facing an unprecedented test by an enemy, a novel and deadly enemy, the COVID-19 pandemic. As COVID-19 continues to spread all around the world, social, political and serious economic consequences await this planet. After the introduction and a brief epidemiological summary, this article discusses the threat that is COVID-19 to major global urban centers and crowded rural areas. The impact of COVID-19 across the globe is particularly inimitable and more so in major global urban centers for several reasons including these being international hot spot destinations, global financial hubs attractive for entrepreneurs from across the globe, densely populated areas, as well as having higher percentages of low-income individuals and families.
