3. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness
ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS).
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. This is
a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans.
This course provides a general introduction to COVID-19 and emerging
respiratory viruses and is intended for public health professionals, incident
managers and personnel working for the United Nations, international
organizations and NGOs.
As the official disease name was established after material creation, any
mention of nCoV refers to COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most
recently discovered coronavirus.
4. I being an High School student, I want to share my
experience on the Covid-19 Lockdown and Unlock for
student’s life. During this coronavirus time as being
students, have advantages and disadvantages. I was
initially happy about the virus because there was a
lockdown all over India, there were no schools and
colleges, had an ash life initially enjoying all the day with
playing games, watching movies right from the morning
to the night. At once, an instant of time, I thought there
was no movie for me to watch. Waiting for unlocking
situation to meet friends and relatives. Still, things are
not settled to meet the friends and relatives
5. Taking online class after some time in the lockdown period onwards. Initially Online
Classes feel better. Where there was a complete change in the situation of the
class’s atmosphere. After a month came to know that there are lots of
disadvantages and advantages to this type of education. Finally came to know that
this virus is not a blessing to students but a foreshadow of the student’s further life
to adjust the Online mode of education. The shift in education is totally different
from all my education career.
6. ADVANTAGES:
School and Collages Holidays
Students can use their quality time in studying and the other activities in which they are interested. Spend time in
the house by not going out and enjoy watch movies and do some craftwork.
Time to spend with family
Best time to spend with grandparents, cousins, mother, father, and other relatives as there is ample time to spend
(if possible, as per government norms). Moreover, everyone is doing working from home. There is no need to
step out of the house and meet with relatives you can pick the phone and call them and talk with builds more
family relations.
Watching a movie along with the family and enjoying it can only happen now at this time. Spend time with
parents and explain career planning views and brainstorm them for stepping towards proper feature path.
Saving Time
Saving time to avoid transportation time, prayer, sports, chatting with friends. Spending five to six hours of the
quality time for the online classes. Whereas in school, spent 10 hours. Getting more time for the self-study if we
use in the proper way to avoid watching movies and playing mobile games
7. DISADVANTAGES
There are significant disadvantages because there is a huge loss in jobs, lives, and the economy of the Country.
Main disadvantages for students are
Online Classes
Online classes, the adoption rate is around 50-60% whereas in the classroom the adoption was around 80-90%.
Online classes affect the eyes of the students due to long hours in front of the blue screen
Small children like the playschool and the primary grades must not have this type of class because they have low
concentration power, and these small kids do not have the ability to sit for a longer time in front of the blue screen.
Financial Condition
Lots of poor students do not have access to laptops and computers; all these students are naïve, think there should
not be this disparate education.
Surely there are lots of disadvantageous factors like there are no exams; students are being given marks by the
internals. This may impact their career in the feature. These factors are going to be a foreshadow to the child
further life. On this note, want to say that students are missing the days in the schools and colleges.

9. Vaccines save millions of lives each year. Vaccines work by training and preparing
the body’s natural defences --- the immune system--- to recognize and fight off
the viruses and bacteria they target. If the body is exposed to those disease-
causing germs later, the body is immediately ready to destroy them, preventing
illness.
There are currently more than 50 COVID-19 vaccine candidates in trials. WHO is
working in collaboration with scientists, business, and global health organizations
through the ACT Accelerator to speed up the pandemic response. When a safe and
effective vaccine is found, COVAX (led by WHO, GAVI and CEPI) will facilitate the
equitable access and distribution of these vaccines to protect people in all
countries. People most at risk will be prioritized. While we work towards rolling out
a safe and effective vaccine fairly, we must continue the essential public health
actions to suppress transmission and reduce mortality.
10. Effective communication is a priority in WHO’s COVID-19 roadmap; accurate and salient messages will enhance
trust and enable the public to make informed choices based on recommendations.
As the outbreak intensified, social media has taken on new and increased importance with the large-scale
implementation of social distancing, quarantine measures, and lockdown of complete cities. Social media
platforms have become a way to enable homebound people to survive isolation and seek help, co-ordinate
donations, entertain, and socialize with each other.
Social media platforms arguably support the conditions necessary for attitude change by exposing individuals to
correct, accurate, health-promoting messages from healthcare professionals
In order to investigate community responses to SARS-CoV-2, we conducted this online survey among the general
public and healthcare professionals to identify awareness of SARS-CoV-2 (perceived burden and risk), trusted
sources of information, awareness of preventative measures and support for governmental policies and trust in
authority to handle SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and put forward policy recommendations in case of similar future
conditions.
