About This Trend
COVID-19 is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has been a global pandemic since late 2019.
It is currently trending due to the emergence of new variants, such as NB.1.8.1, which are driving infections in regions like Australia. Additionally, ongoing discussions about vaccine approvals and public health strategies for older adults and high-risk groups are keeping COVID-19 in the spotlight.
