HealthLynked announce the release of its latest version of its COVID-19 tracker, designed to provide users with the most up-to-date information as company continue to navigate the evolving landscape of the pandemic. Recognizing the mounting concerns about COVID-19 variants and the intersection with other viral illnesses such as RSV and flu, HealthLynked has reset its tracker starting from January 2023 to closely monitor potential new cases. In the context of the pandemic's evolution, it is vital to understand the distinctions between Variants of Concern (VOC) and Variants of Interest (VOI).

VOCs are strains with characteristics like increased transmissibility and potential resistance to treatments or vaccines, making them a primary focus for global health organizations. In contrast, VOIs, while having genetic alterations, have not shown a widespread global impact but are closely monitored for their potential escalation in concern.
