Answer 1

Pandemic. A pandemic is an epidemic of infectious disease that has spread across a large region. On the other hand, an epidemic is a disease which spreads over a small region. While a disease outbreak is when a disease occurs in a greater number than expected. In this case, we will assume that since a Pandemic has a wider reach, the answer should be Pandemic.

They are pushing for social change. Many campaigns are being carried out on a daily basis to spread awareness among the general population, and also pushing the govt. to take necessary actions to get rid of the pandemic.
