ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic emerged as the world's major issue. COVID-19 is the greatest test the world has faced since the end of Second World War. It comes to the point that none of the countries on the earth are ready to face it, regardless of the status of the country: neither developed nor poor. COVID-19 is a global health crisis killing people and spreading human suffering across regions. This outbreak had a significant impact on all sorts of sectors including security. There are winners and losers since the “pandora-virus-box” has opened. The world's focus has changed to securing the health and food industry rather than capitalism's economic base. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to devastate fragile and conflict-affected areas such as Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Myanmar, Iraq, and Afghanistan. These states are facing lots of socio-economy problems and have faltering health systems, especially for the refugees. Separatists and freedom fighters halt their movement as they are also having a very tough time right now. This paper is qualitative in nature and emphasizes the best practices used in minimizing security threats due to COVID-19 using secondary data from library research. The outcome, understanding the impact and threat of COVID-19 to the world's security, is intended to help governments and policymakers revisit all their security-related policies and prevent their country from catastrophes due to COVID-19 or any pandemic threat in the future.
