COVID-19 pandemic in Samoa

The COVID-19 pandemic in Samoa is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Samoa on 18 November 2020. The country reported its second case on 27 November.

In January 2022, Samoa reported several cases in managed isolation among passengers from an Australian repatriation flight, reaching a total of 26 cases by 25 January. In response, the Samoan Government imposed a nationwide lockdown, which was subsequently extended on 25 January 2022.
