Health and Safety

during covid-19

Introduction
Covid-19 started in the year 2020. It is a deathly pandemic which changed all of our lives
drastically. The world as a whole is trying to overcome this by taking the necessary precautions. The
situation is comparatively getting better but it is still important to be aware and do our best to go
back to normal.

The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world.
Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. As a
result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive
rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and
on digital platforms.
Research suggests that online learning has been shown to
increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the
changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.
The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of
people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people,
currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the
year.

Millions of agricultural workers – waged and self-employed – while

feeding the world, regularly face high levels of working poverty,
malnutrition and poor health, and suffer from a lack of safety and labor
protection as well as other types of abuse. With low and irregular
incomes and a lack of social support, many of them are spurred to
continue working, often in unsafe conditions, thus exposing themselves
and their families to additional risks.
The first known infections from SARS-CoV-2 were discovered in Wuhan, China. The original
source of viral transmission to humans remains unclear, as does whether the virus became
pathogenic before or after the spillover event.
Experts say SARS-CoV-2 originated in bats. That’s also how the coronaviruses behind Middle
East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) got started.
 Even though covid is decreasing, I think it is very important to
not forget how dangerous it is,it is important to wear masks no
matter what and it should be made a rule. Everyone must be
vaccinated in order to use public facilities

Get vaccinated as soon as it’s your turn and follow local guidance on vaccination.
Keep physical distance of at least 1 meter from others, even if they don’t appear to be sick. Avoid
crowds and close contact.
Wear a properly fitted mask when physical distancing is not possible and in poorly ventilated
settings.
Clean your hands frequently with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
Cover your mouth and nose with a bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Dispose of
used tissues immediately and clean hands regularly. 
If you develop symptoms or test positive for COVID-19, self-isolate until you recover.
 Right now, there is a large focus on the urgent need to
develop a vaccine for COVID-19, the disease caused by
the novel corona virus that currently has no
approved treatment or immunization. This has brought an
awareness to vaccine research and development, and just
how important it is more than ever.

Keep good hygiene

Wear a mask properly
Make your environment safer
