Some background for the unfamiliar:

“OP” is the abbreviation for “Ordo Prædicatorum”, or “Order of Preachers” in English, aka the Dominicans.

Saint Dominic is the founder of their order.

‘pandemic’ usually is taken to mean it has spread across several international boundaries. ‘pan,’ meaning ‘all.’
