Abstract

This article explores the idea of health protection for all stakeholders involved in the conduct of the 2024 simultaneous general elections. This is motivated by the emergence and spread of new COVID-19 mutations, including the rapid evolution of the virus leading to the emergence of a new subvariant called XBB. This subvariant was first detected in South Africa in November 2021 and differs from other subvariants in certain characteristics. It possesses unique distribution characteristics compared with other subvariants, although most of the symptoms are still mild. This might be a cause for concern and necessitate the need for awareness and adherence to health protocols during indoor and outdoor activities, which will be particularly important in the context of the concurrent 2024 general elections protocol. The research employs the socio-legal method. As a result, this article presents an overview of the implementation of health protocols and the creation of working groups as a precautionary measure to the spread of new mutations of the COVID-19 virus.
