Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Endemic diseases are the diseases or infections that are persistently present in the population of a particular geographical area.

An endemic infection or disease does not increase at an exponential rate and also does not get eliminated entirely. Therefore, such an infection is constantly maintained without any external outputs and thus reaches the endemic steady state.
