Question

Which of the following statements are true or false?
I. Endemic when it spreads across the globe is called a pandemic.
II. Epidemic is a disease that is permanently present in a region or population
Which of the following options is correct?

• A. Both I & II are true
• B. Both I & II are false
• C. I is true but II is false
• D. I is false but II is true

Hint:

Remember: "Endemic" refers to disease presence in a region, "epidemic" to local outbreaks, and "pandemic" to global spread.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A pandemic refers to a global spread of disease, whereas an endemic is a disease that is regularly found in a particular area. An epidemic refers to a disease outbreak that occurs in a specific region. Thus, both statements are false.
