摘要

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has highlighted the numerous impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on the delivery of veterinary services and disease reporting. Since being identified in humans in December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 has affected almost 68 million people and caused over 1.5 million deaths globally. In an effort to control the pandemic, governments around the world have frequently implemented lockdowns and movement restrictions, which have impacted numerous sectors.
