In 2024, COVID-19 continues to evolve with new variants like FLiRT and LB.1, necessitating ongoing surveillance and research. Vaccination has significantly reduced hospitalization and death rates, but staying current on vaccinations and practicing good hygiene remain critical. Improved indoor air quality through ventilation and air purification helps reduce virus transmission. Early detection via accurate test kits and consistent use of masks and social distancing are vital preventive measures. Globally, the situation varies, requiring a coordinated response to manage the pandemic effectively.
