Yes. It has spread quickly and widely to become the first pandemic covering the entire globe since the Spanish Flu in 1918. It is a milder disease in people so far, but it is very easily spread from human to human.

Virus is not a disease. All the viruses are obligate intracellular parasites and all the virus infections are communicable.
