3. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease
caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease.
Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 novel
coronavirus' or '2019-nCoV.' The COVID-19 virus is a
new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of
common cold.
On 31 December 2019, WHO was informed of cases of
pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan City, China. A
novel coronavirus was identified as the cause by Chinese
authorities on 7 January 2020 and was temporarily
named “2019-nCoV”.

4. 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 enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly
half of the world’s 3.3 billion global workforce are at risk
of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers
are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack
social protection and access to quality health care and
have lost access to productive assets. Without the
means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are
unable to feed themselves and their families. For most,
no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less
nutritious food.

5. Since initiating the response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic in early 2020, UNICEF and partners have assisted 153 countries
and territories with critical supplies and financial/technical support; and
reached 261 million children with vital health, nutrition, education, child
protection, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), gender-based violence
and social protection services.
To address the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 mitigation measures,
UNICEF has supported adaptations to service delivery systems to limit
interruptions, support continuity, facilitate reopening and enable equitable
access.
In 2020, 3.3 million health workers were trained on infection prevention
and control; 1.8 million health workers benefited from personal protective
equipment; 73.7 million people received WASH supplies; and 93 countries
received 15,000 oxygen concentrators – innovative devices that help people
with COVID-19 breathe.
Risk communication and community engagement interventions
implemented through community influencers, traditional/religious leaders,
community groups, youth groups, health workers and local organizations
have reached 3 billion people.

6. India, as a nation, has stood firmly to manage the unprecedented challenge
caused by COVID-19 infections, with both government and non-
governmental support augmenting preventive and therapeutic health-care
facilities, diagnostic and research facilities, and tracking services, to
minimise the loss of human life. The management model adopted at the
national and at the state level (including the largest state of Uttar Pradesh,
with a population of 240 million), has been well lauded nationally and
internationally during these trying times for planning and execution. The
second wave has caught the nation unaware with its rapidity and
magnitude. Despite this difficulty, the case fatality rate has yet to be as high
as that observed in many high-income countries with the financial luxury of
complete lockdowns for months on end. India has held on strong and has not
witnessed a breakdown in the supply chain of health infrastructure despite
the effect of the virus. India can also be proud of being a nation that has
provided the same treatment to its rich and poor in this pandemic.

8. Asymptomatic cases, mild cases of COVID-19:Isolate yourself in a
well ventilated room. Use a triple layer medical mask, discard mask
after 8 hours of use or earlier if they become wet or visibly soiled. In
the event of a caregiver entering the room, both caregiver and
patient may consider using N 95 mask. Mask should be discarded
only after disinfecting it with 1% Sodium Hypochlorite. Take rest
and drink a lot of fluids to maintain adequate hydration. Follow
respiratory etiquettes at all times. Frequent hand washing with
soap and water for at least 40 seconds or clean with alcohol-based
sanitizer. Don’t share personal items with other people in the
household. Ensure cleaning of surfaces in the room that are touched
often ( table tops , doorknobs, handles, etc.) with 1% hypochlorite
solution. Monitor temperature daily. Monitor oxygen saturation
with a pulse oximeter daily. Connect with the treating physician
promptly if any deterioration of symptoms is noticed.

9. Social and physical distancing. Staying at least 6 feet away
from anyone not living in your household can help you prevent
infection. Hand washing. Washing your hands for at least 20
seconds frequently throughout the day, or using hand
sanitizer, is an effective way to avoid getting sick with the
coronavirus or other germs. Wearing a face mask protects
others from illness if you’re carrying the virus and don’t know
it. Practice safe grocery shopping and food handling. Continue
to practice mindfulness and stress relief, as you did during
stay-at-home orders. Mental and emotional well-being is a key
aspect of health.
