SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging virus as it was newly identified in 2019, had no prior human circulation, and caused a global outbreak with increasing incidence and rapid geographic spread.
In 2025, SARS-CoV-2 remains an emerging virus due to ongoing mutations, new variants, and public health impact, though it’s gradually becoming endemic in many regions with updated vaccines and surveillance.

SARS-CoV-2 is definitely an emerging virus. It was a completely new virus that jumped into humans and spread globally. Re-emerging viruses are ones we’ve seen before that make a comeback, like measles sometimes does.
