The COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions about the potential for eradicating SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Several factors complicate this:

While eradication may not be feasible in the near term, ongoing efforts aim at controlling and potentially eliminating the disease in certain regions.
