COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, continues to be a significant health concern globally. Here are some key points:
- Symptoms: Common symptoms include a high temperature, continuous cough, loss of taste or smell, shortness of breath, and fatigue1.
- Current Situation: There has been a slight increase in COVID-19 cases recently, often referred to as a “summer wave”2. New variants, collectively known as FLiRT, have emerged, but their impact is still being studied2.
- Prevention and Treatment: Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent severe illness. If you have symptoms, it’s recommended to stay at home and avoid contact with others13.
