As COVID-19 continues to circulate, UK health experts are reminding the public that masks remain an important tool for reducing respiratory virus transmission.
Well-fitting respirators, such as N95s and FFP2s, help filter airborne particles and reduce exposure, particularly in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
Masking remains a practical way to protect yourself and others.

“American COVID” is making headlines, but the name isn't what matters.
COVID-19 continues to circulate, and the virus spreads through the air we share. Rather than focusing on sensational headlines or variant names, we should focus on preventing infections.
Cleaner indoor air, well-fitting N95 respirators, and layered prevention can help protect our communities.

COVID-19 continues to pose serious health risks in 2026, including Long COVID and other long-term complications. Taking precautions, such as wearing a well-fitting respirator and improving indoor air quality, can help reduce the risk of infection and protect your health.

Contact tracing plays an important role in controlling Ebola outbreaks, but it cannot identify exposures that were never recognized.
Kenya's response demonstrates both the value of identifying and monitoring contacts and the importance of continued surveillance.
Even with high contact tracing rates, early detection and ongoing monitoring remain essential to preventing further transmission.

COVID-19 circulates year-round, and surges can happen at any time. Prevention shouldn't be limited to periods of increased transmission.
Whether you're trying to avoid infection or prevent spreading COVID-19 to others, taking precautions matters.
Wearing a well-fitting respirator, improving indoor air quality, and staying home when sick can help reduce transmission and protect our communities.

Every COVID-19 infection is another opportunity for long-term complications.
COVID-19 is more than a respiratory illness. COVID can affect multiple organs and systems throughout the body, with potential consequences that extend far beyond the initial infection.
Even "mild" infections can lead to Long COVID, which may cause persistent fatigue, cognitive difficulties, cardiovascular problems, and other symptoms that disrupt daily life.
Previous infection does not eliminate the risks associated with reinfection. Reducing exposure and preventing repeated infections remain important for protecting long-term health.
Prevention still matters. Wear a well-fitting respirator, improve indoor air quality, and take steps to reduce transmission.

A COVID-19 wave doesn't end when transmission peaks.
In this update, Dr. Michael Hoerger explains why transmission can remain high even after a wave reaches its peak, which regions are seeing elevated transmission, and what could influence the severity of the upcoming winter wave.
Staying informed is essential as we head into the colder months.

Clean air is a fundamental part of public health, and should be a basic expectation.
Just as we prioritize clean drinking water, we should prioritize the quality of the air we breathe every day.
Improving indoor air quality through better ventilation, effective filtration, and cleaner air standards can help reduce the spread of airborne infections, including COVID-19, and protect community health.
#CleanAir #PublicHealth #COVID #AirborneTransmission #COVID19
Every infection avoided is one less illness to face and one less recovery to go through.
Prevention is most effective when multiple protective measures work together. Masking, improving indoor air quality, testing, vaccination, and reducing exposure in shared spaces all play a role in limiting the spread of respiratory infections.
Making prevention part of everyday life helps protect ourselves and our communities.

A suspected plague event in Irkutsk, Russia, highlights the importance of early response to airborne-transmissible and rapidly fatal diseases.
The first hours and days can be critical in preventing further transmission and reducing the risk of an outbreak.

COVID-19 prevention shouldn't be limited to periods of increased transmission.
COVID-19 continues to circulate year-round, making consistent prevention an important part of protecting individual and community health.
Improving indoor air quality, wearing well-fitting respirators, and supporting accessible prevention measures can help reduce transmission in everyday settings.
Prevention should be built into our schools, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and shared spaces, not treated as a temporary response to surges.

Long COVID can develop even after a mild COVID-19 infection.
Symptoms can persist or emerge weeks or months after the initial infection, including fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and other health complications.
Long COVID is not limited to those who experience severe illness. Taking steps to reduce COVID-19 infections remains important for protecting your long-term health.

Healthcare should not a place where you pick up another infection.
Strong infection prevention measures, including clean air, masking, and other layered protections, help keep patients, visitors, and healthcare workers safer. Prevention belongs in every setting, healthcare included.
