A digital graphic from WHN.Global features a background image of a crowded indoor setting with people walking, many wearing masks. At the top, a red banner with white text reads "FIVE YEARS." Below, bold white and red text states: "IT’S BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE COVID WAS DECLARED A PANDEMIC." Additional white text below reads: "Since then, much of the world has moved on. But COVID hasn’t disappeared, and many continue to respond accordingly." The WHN.Global logo is in the upper right corner, and a row of five colored dots (pink, green, yellow, blue, dark blue) is in the upper left corner.
