A state of emergency was declared in the Empire of Adammia on 15 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The first Adammic citizens were vaccinated against the virus on 8 January 2021, making Adammia one of the only countries in the world to begin receiving vaccinations before any cases were reported. However, Adammia's initial case was reported shortly afterwards on 2 February 2021. During the time period that the Adammic government was monitoring the pandemic, there were seven confirmed cases, all of whom made full recoveries. The vast majority of adult citizens received three doses of the vaccine distributed by the British government. The state of emergency was officially ended on 31 July 2021, and on 24 May 2022 the government announced that it was no longer actively monitoring cases. Although the virus continues to circulate, the Adammic government has stated that it no longer poses a risk to Adammic citizens.
