From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The COVID-19 pandemic in Timor-Leste was part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Timor-Leste in March 2020.

Unlike the SARS outbreak of 2003, the case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower,^[3][4] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.^[5][3]
