Definitions
Flatten the curve refers to the public health strategy aimed at slowing the spread of a contagious disease, particularly during an outbreak, to prevent healthcare systems from being overwhelmed. This is typically achieved through measures such as social distancing, wearing masks, and vaccination, which help to reduce the number of new cases over time, thereby 'flattening' the peak of the infection rate on a graph.
