COVID-19. Forensic Science, Society, Vaccination, Nigeria

The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly had a significant impact on various fields including forensic science. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) that causes COVID-19 infection is the direct successor to SARS-CoV-1, the virus that caused the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak. Overall, deaths from SARS-COV1 were approximately just 0.0158% when compared to the total global fatality rate in SARS-COV2 cases. Coronaviruses are a group of closely related viruses that have been shown to cause diseases in both mammals and birds. Human coronavirus was first characterized in the 1960s and is responsible for a high proportion of upper respiratory tract infections in humans, especially children; (Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-1), infected over 8,000 people from 29 different countries and territories, and resulted in at least 774 deaths worldwide, bringing the case fatality rate to 9.675% as at November 2022. While forensic experts primarily deal with the collection, analysis, and interpretation of evidence-based data related to criminal investigations, there are several lessons that could be learned that can positively position forensic experts and society to be ready and prepared for any future pandemic.
