The COVID-19 pandemic in Latvia was a part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 ({{nowrap|COVID-19}}) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ({{nowrap|SARS-CoV-2}}). The virus was confirmed to have reached Latvia on 2 March 2020, having been brought along with people returning from abroad.
The government declared a state of emergency on 13 March 2020 with a number of epidemiological safety measures and restrictions, primarily limiting gatherings, travel, most public venues, and educational institutions. As the new confirmed cases stayed in the low two-digit range per day, the emergency was periodically extended until mid-2020, when the confirmed infection case dropped to almost 0 and the state of emergency ended on 9 June 2020. Most restrictions were lifted.
The rates spiked again by the end of September, from a few dozen per day to low hundreds by November, and many of the restrictions were restored and tightened, including a range of new ones. Eventually, a new state of emergency was reinstated on 9 November 2020 with increased rules and restrictions, while the daily cases reached close to one thousand by the end of November. The number of cases kept rising at the turn of the year and the state of emergency was extended to 6 April 2021. The vaccination programme began at the start of the year.
As of 21 January 2023, 2,974,692 COVID-19 vaccine doses had been administered in Latvia.{{Cite web |title=Latvia: WHO Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Dashboard With Vaccination Data |url=https://covid19.who.int/ |access-date=2023-02-02 |website=covid19.who.int |language=en}}
