Governments implemented lockdowns, travel restrictions, and social distancing to curb the virus's transmission, significantly impacting daily life and economies globally.
As the pandemic progressed, the development and distribution of vaccines, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, became crucial in combating the virus.
