Navigating Life After the End of the COVID Emergency

The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have ended their public health emergencies for COVID-19, but the virus is still a threat. Experts recommend continuing to take precautions, such as wearing masks in certain situations and getting vaccinated. People should also be aware of their personal risk factors and talk to their doctor about precautions. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of social interaction for mental and physical health, and precautions can be taken to avoid isolation. Testing is still recommended for those who have been exposed to the virus or have symptoms.
