COVID-19 Surge in September 2024: A Comprehensive Guide for Businesses and Individuals
This September 2024, COVID-19 is once again making headlines, with a surge across the U.S. due to the spread of two new variants—KP.2 and KP.3. According to reports, over 1 million Americans are being infected each day, and positivity rates have spiked to over 16%, marking the highest level in over a year. In response, the CDC and FDA have released new guidelines, highlighting the need for businesses and individuals to take precautions to manage the rising cases effectively.
Here’s everything you need to know about the latest COVID-19 developments and how Vizocare can help you stay safe with essential products and services.
New COVID-19 Variants: KP.2 and KP.3
KP.2 and KP.3 are emerging strains of the COVID-19 virus that have evolved to evade immunity from previous vaccines and natural infections. These variants are more transmissible and pose a significant challenge to public health. As the situation continues to evolve, updated vaccines are now available, designed specifically to combat these variants.
FDA & CDC Recommendations
The FDA has recently approved updated mRNA vaccines by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech for those aged 12 and older. These vaccines are tailored to address the new variants. Additionally, emergency use authorization has been granted for children aged 6 months to 11 years. The CDC strongly urges everyone aged 6 months and older to get vaccinated with these new formulations, especially with the current surge.
Precautionary Measures for Businesses and Individuals
1. Stay Home When Sick
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home when feeling unwell. Encourage your employees, staff, and colleagues to remain at home if they experience symptoms. Rapid antigen tests can help make informed decisions on whether isolation is necessary.
At Vizocare, we offer FDA-approved home test kits that are 93% effective, providing results within 15 minutes. Testing regularly can help minimize outbreaks in your workplace.
2. Use PPE for Protection
Equip your office with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like masks and gloves, especially if staff are interacting with potentially sick individuals. PPE remains one of the most effective barriers against COVID-19 transmission, particularly in high-contact environments.
Explore our range of nitrile, latex, and vinyl disposable gloves here and ensure that your team is protected.
3. Prioritize Hygiene and Cleanliness
Frequent handwashing, respiratory etiquette, and regular cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces are critical steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19. By identifying potential cases early with rapid tests, you can reduce the need for excessive cleaning measures.
