- Mutation and Variability: Viruses can mutate rapidly, leading to new strains that evade immunity. - Global Travel: Increased global travel facilitates the rapid spread of viruses across borders. - Public Compliance: Ensuring public adherence to health measures like vaccination and social distancing. - Resource Limitations: Limited healthcare infrastructure and resources, especially in low-income countries.
