New variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 could reverse recent decreases in cases and worsen the pandemic. A new JAMA article reiterates that we all can limit the impact of these variants by taking proven prevention steps:
o Wear well-fitting masks
o Stay at least 6 feet away from people you don’t live with
o Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces
o Postpone travel
o Wash your hands often
o Get vaccinated when it’s available to you
