What is an endemic?
Despite the Omicron wave, many European countries are beginning to loosen Covid-related restrictions. Some have lifted health passes and relaxed travel restrictions, while others have reopened public places and put an end to facemask requirements. In England, as of February 24th, people with Covid-19 are no longer legally required to self-isolate. Governments and international orgnisations are now aiming for a shared vision, that of the pandemic evolving into an endemic.
