COVID-19 (short for coronavirus disease 2019) is the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Both the disease and the virus are colloquially known as COVID-19 and simply "coronavirus", potentially for simplicity. While primarily a lower respiratory disease, later evidence showed potential of spread to other organs, as well as numerous additional maladies contributed by the virus.
The COVID-19 outbreak of late 2019 and throughout 2020 was quickly deemed a pandemic, and impacted the daily lives of almost everyone in the world. Due to the lockdown, quarantine, and social distancing rules put into place by various forms of government to slow the spread of the virus, most businesses and indeed, forms of entertainment, were halted or canceled as a result.
All comics creatives working for a company (Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, etc.) were given a "pencils down" order, meaning that they would need to cease all creations activities as they were not being paid. In particular, Sophie Campbell, contemporary writer and artist of the series, was given this directive. Due to Diamond Distribution's halting of operations, no comics were released at all for a period of several months, with DC eventually releasing some of their titles in May directly in extremely limited quantities, although wide distribution and other companies' shipments remained affected.
The COVID-19 rules and regulations directly impacted the release of the following TMNT books, delaying each one by several months. All issues directly following these are similarly impacted.
