Overview
In 2025, COVID-19 remains an endemic virus. New variants continue to emerge, but they tend to cause milder illness due to widespread immunity from vaccination and prior infection.
Symptoms
Symptoms are similar to the common cold: runny nose, sore throat, cough, headache, and fatigue.
Causes
The virus continues to mutate, leading to new strains. These are often subvariants of Omicron.
Treatment
Treatment is largely supportive. Antivirals remain available for high-risk individuals.
When to See a Doctor
Consult a doctor if you are high-risk or develop severe symptoms.
