COVID-19 prevention and health promotion for the whole community

Abstract

As our understanding of Covid-19 has grown, numerous techniques for preventing its spread have emerged. Scholars and practitioners in public health have focused on four important Covid-19 prevention strategies: behavioural, technical, biomedical, and structural/community-level interventions. Recent material in these areas provides an overview of current Covid-19 preventive breakthroughs. Current COVID-19 prevention models, which build on traditional techniques, use intimate partners, families, social media, emerging technology, prescription therapy, immunization, and regulatory changes to influence change. Despite significant success, more action is required to meet the national goal of stopping the COVID-19 epidemic. Government and non-governmental organizations are uniquely positioned to promote prevention science in collaboration with cross-disciplinary professionals from other domains.
