Coronavirus has continued to evolve and has thus caused unprecedented challenges for human society. Multiple nations have fully or partially relied on the limited approach against the COVID-19 variants, which includes not wearing face masks, vaccine hesitancy, and political conflicts. For effective pandemic management, all nations still need to adhere to the unlimited approach, which includes wearing face masks, vaccination, and risk-oriented strategies. Despite many people's resistance to these relatively restrictive measures, the society could not only reduce physical impacts but also social impacts of COVID-19 variants in time, in particular without flexibly relying on the unlimited approach.
冠状病毒持续演变,给人类社会带来了前所未有的挑战。多个国家完全或部分依赖针对新冠病毒变异株的有限应对方式,其中包括不戴口罩、疫苗犹豫以及政治冲突。为有效管理疫情,所有国家仍需坚持采用无限应对方式,其中包括戴口罩、接种疫苗以及以风险为导向的策略。尽管许多人抵制这些相对严格的措施,但社会不仅能够及时减少新冠病毒变异株对身体的影响,还能减少其对社会的影响,特别是在不灵活依赖无限应对方式的情况下。
