The COVID-19 pandemic, resulting from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has significantly affected global health, economies, education, and daily living. This paper offers an in-depth review of the virus’s transmission modes, clinical symptoms, and the public health interventions used to control its spread. It underscores the importance of preventive actions such as vaccinations, social distancing, and wearing personal protective equipment. Additionally, it examines the pandemic’s economic, educational, and psychological impacts, particularly the difficulties faced by students and teachers during the transition to remote education. With the emergence of new variants, the article discusses their implications for global health and explores future strategies as the virus becomes endemic. By reflecting on lessons learned, it highlights the importance of pandemic preparedness and the ongoing need for public health education to handle future global health crises.
