The COVID-19 response involved a series of measures taken by governments and health organizations worldwide to control the spread of the virus. Key strategies included implementing social distancing guidelines, promoting hand hygiene, and encouraging the use of face masks. Vaccination campaigns were launched to immunize populations against the virus, significantly reducing severe cases and hospitalizations. Public health agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), provided guidelines and resources to help countries manage the crisis. Testing and contact tracing were essential tools used to identify and isolate infected individuals, while travel restrictions aimed to limit the virus's spread across borders.
