President Biden has ended the public health emergency declaration for COVID-19, which will trigger changes in the healthcare system such as the ability to prescribe medications remotely, but won't impact vaccine distribution nor terminate the COVID-19 public health programs and funding.

The Biden administration’s decision to continue the public health emergency plan despite the pandemic being over was to give themselves time to unwind the complicated system they have put in place. Personal COVID hygiene practices should be based on individual risk levels and tolerance.
The coronavirus is an endemic virus, and we may have to live with it forever like the flu. Scientists suggest everyone should get an annual shot, as the virus's behavior is unpredictable.
