How is this COVID wave different?
The current wave of COVID-19 differs from previous waves in several significant ways.
Currently, the FLiRT COVID variants are circulating. FLiRT COVID variants, including KP.2, JN.1.7, and others beginning with KP or JN, collectively represent a family sharing identical mutations through convergent evolution. They all trace their origins back to the JN.1 variant. “The particular mutations that people refer to as “FLiRT”s or “FLip”s refer to specific positions in the spike protein—in this case, positions 456, 346, and 572,” according to Johns Hopkins University.

How yoga elevates overall well-being
- Hygiene practices: Continue practicing frequent handwashing with soap and water or using hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your face, especially eyes, nose, and mouth, to reduce the risk of virus transmission from contaminated surfaces.
- Masking and physical distancing: Wear masks in crowded or indoor settings, as well as outdoor areas where physical distancing is challenging. Ensure masks fit snugly over the nose and mouth. Maintain a distance of at least six feet from individuals outside your household.
- Ventilation: Ensure indoor spaces are well-ventilated to reduce the concentration of viral particles in the air. Open windows and doors or use air purifiers with HEPA filters where possible.
- Boosting immunity: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support immune function. Include seasonal fruits and vegetables, stay hydrated, and consider supplements like Vitamin C and D after consulting with a healthcare provider.
- Avoiding crowds and indoor gatherings: Limit non-essential outings and avoid crowded places where maintaining physical distance is challenging. Opt for outdoor activities with proper precautions whenever feasible.
Monitoring symptoms and testing: Stay vigilant for COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, and loss of taste or smell. Get tested if symptoms develop or after potential exposure to the virus, and follow local health guidelines for isolation and treatment.
