An epidemic is an outbreak of an infectious disease that has spread beyond the local community (that is called an outbreak) but has not gone world wide (that is called a pandemic). An epidemic is regional and indicates that the infection is spreading in a wider region than an outbreak but not as far as a pandemic spreads.
