The COVID-19 pandemic in Honduras was a 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 first confirmed to have spread to Honduras on 10 March 2020, when two women tested positive for the virus after one of them landed on Toncontín International Airport in a flight from Madrid, Spain, and the other on Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport in a flight from Geneva, Switzerland. Confirmed cases have been reported in all 18 departments of the country, with the majority of cases located in Cortés and Francisco Morazán. Since the first cases were recorded in March, the country has implemented various measures to address the pandemic, including closing maritime, aerial, and land borders, suspending classes at all levels of education nationwide, ordering a nationwide curfew, and freezing prices for basic food items and certain medical supplies and equipment.
