The Worst Phase of The Epidemic Is Expected To End This Year

For the foreseeable future, humans will coexist with novel coronavirus strains, and it is likely that more variants will emerge in the current situation. If countries make full use of all strategies and tools, the worst phase of the pandemic can end this year, and COVID-19 will no longer be a global public health emergency.  This requires all countries to vaccinate 70 percent of the population, reduce mortality rates, and increase testing and sequencing rates worldwide, and there is still a long way to go. However, Protective products such as FFP2 mask, KN95 face masks etc, are also the best effective tool to anti the virus.

More than two years have passed since the outbreak of the virus. With the development of the epidemic, mankind has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the epidemic. However, since the emergence of the omicron mutant strain, many countries around the world have seen a new wave of epidemic. According to a number of domestic and foreign studies, Omicron has strong infectivity, low pathogenicity and other characteristics. As a result, some experts believe the omectron epidemic could help humans achieve herd immunity at a lower cost. Some foreign experts also believe that the COVID-19 epidemic may end soon, and March this year is highly likely to be a critical juncture in the development of the epidemic. However, there is no sign of an end to the global epidemic so far.

As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, the virus has the environment to mutate and a more deadly virus cannot be ruled out in the future. Therefore, it is imperative for all countries to unite and take more strong actions to deal with the epidemic。The number of vaccination stations will continue to increase further, and the mandatory wearing of face masks on passenger planes, trains, buses and transport hubs will be extended until mid-March next year.
