Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the emerging generationsMark McCrindle
Throughout history there have always defining moments for different generations. For the Baby Boomers it was the Moon Landing. For Generation X it was the Stock Market Crash and for the Millennials it was September 11. For the
emerging generations – Generation Z (born 1995-2009) and Generation Alpha
(born since 2010) – it might have been Donald Trump’s election or Brexit, until
COVID-19 took hold of the world in 2020.
This global pandemic stopped social gatherings, halted the economy and
significantly disrupted the normal rhythms of life. It has had an unprecedented
impact on a global scale with world leaders putting measures in place, the likes
of which have only been seen in response to the World Wars and the Great
Depression.
From how we shop, to how we work, engage in community, learn, educate,
contribute and lead, COVID-19 and our response is marking a significant
societal shift. The impacts of which will be felt even after the virus is kept under
control. All of this change is truly unprecedented, especially for the younger
generations who have only read about similar responses to a crisis of this scale
in history books.
While people of all generations have been impacted by COVID-19, it stands to
define those who are coming of age during it, with more than four in five adults
we surveyed (84%) agreeing that the COVID-19 pandemic will play a significant
role in shaping the children of today. Both the virus itself and the response has
already influenced the next generation’s sentiment, behaviour and lifestyle.
The impacts will continue beyond when it is kept under control and we emerge
out of ‘iso’ (isolation) as many Gen Zeds are calling it. This virus and the world’s
response to it is set to shape the emerging generations and their future for
many years to come.
While these uncertain times can cause justified anxiety and concern, it is also
in these times that we see community and human connectedness shining
brightly. In challenging times, we see the positive and resilient aspects of the
human spirit as we come together to respond to a changing world. This is true
of the emerging generations as well, as this once in a century crisis stands to
shape them and their future.
This paper is authored by Mark McCrindle and Ashley Fell, two social
researchers who are leading authorities on the emerging generations. We
believe this complimentary whitepaper will be invaluable for you in navigating
and leading through times of change.
The Impact of Global Pandemic COVID 19 on Indiaijtsrd

Covid 19 home quarantine and how to overcome corona virusranatahan
With the spread of the COVID-19 virus in all countries of the world, many countries have taken measures to besiege the virus and prevent its spread, among which is the home quarantine that requires the commitment of people to stay in their homes, and a lot of results.
It may affect their mental health and in order to enhance their mental health in order to face and manage the crisis of the COVID -19 virus, we must confront and manage the crisis of the COVID-19 virus. The study came to see instructions that can help in enhancing their mental health.
The document discusses the theoretical framework for understanding the impact of implementing Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in Alion, Mariveles. It reviews relevant theories and literature on quarantine and pandemics. Studies show that quarantine can effectively reduce transmission by isolating cases, but it also has economic and psychological costs. The conceptual framework identifies independent variables like age, sex, and socioeconomic status, and dependent variables like perception of the quarantine's informativeness and security. The hypothesis is that these factors may influence perceptions of the quarantine's effectiveness.

How to Sensitize Children to Adopt Coronavirus Preventive Measures?NehaNaayar
Amul is a seven-year-old child studying in Grade-2 in a municipal corporation school in
Delhi. He is a sociable person. He loves to hang out with his friends and asks innumerable
questions to his best friend Yasmin when they have mid-day meal together. Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic situation, his school is closed. He keeps on staring at the door of his
house and looks forward to asking so many questions to his best friend when the school
reopens.
This time when the school reopens after a long vacation, Yasmin may not have all the
answers to Amul’s questions because children in primary classes would be learning new
things hitherto untouched or not discussed previously. She will also be one of the thousands
of children who will be told about new norms in the school when she goes back to the
school after a while.
The Sixth Stocktaking Report accounts for both progress made and setbacks identified in the last two years. Globally countries have made more inroads on new HIV infections among children since 2011 than in the previous decade, but the rate of slowing new infections isn't yet on track to meet Millennium Development Goal 6 by its 2015 deadline.

Containing the COVID 19 Pandemic in Nigeria A Reflection on Government Action...ijtsrd
The outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic led to the lockdown of the global economy in the early part of the year 2020. In line with the measures recommended by the World Health Organization WHO , countries also introduced further mechanisms based on their respective unique environment to contain the virus. This paper reflected on the citizens’ reactions to government measures in containing the COVID 19 pandemic in Nigeria. Specifically, it reviewed the government’s actions towards containing the virus and how they influenced the citizens’ response. The study was qualitative and focused between March and September 2020. Relying on secondary data that were analyzed through content analysis, we triangulated the Persuasive Communication Theory and Resistance Theory to interrogate the governments actions and the citizens’ reactions. We argued that the governments approach towards containing the virus contributed to i the doubt on the existence of the virus in the country held by some of the citizens, ii the lack of strict observation of precautionary measures and safety regulations, iii the seeming non co operation between the government and the citizens in containing the virus. The implications of this relationship pose challenges for future epidemics, pandemics, and development in the country and could serve as a premise for further research.

COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The document discusses a study that examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of journalists in Abuja, Nigeria regarding COVID-19. The study utilized the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) model to assess how journalists' knowledge impacted their attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 protocols. The study found that journalists had generally good knowledge of COVID-19, which positively influenced their attitudes. However, their knowledge did not strongly correlate with adopting recommended practices. The study suggests journalists must follow public health protocols to effectively spread COVID-19 information to the public and encourage adherence to containment measures.
Covid 19 Scope of Ayurveda and Homoeopathy to Make Swastha Bharatijtsrd
AYUSH system is based on traditional health practices. The traditional Healthcare system of the country provides lifestyle advocacies to boost immunity which helps the prevention of various kind infectious diseases. Recently, the outbreak of corona virus has been noticed which mainly involve Respiratory system. Ayurveda, being the science of life, propagates the gifts of nature in maintaining healthy and happy living. Ayurveda's extensive knowledge base on preventive care, derives from the concepts of "Dinacharya" daily regimes and "Ritucharya" seasonal regimes to maintain healthy life. In Homoeopathy the choice of the medicine is fundamentally based on the principle that the medicine must have the capability of producing most similar symptom of the diseases to be cure in healthy persons. Today whole world faces corona virus problem. Corona virus comprises of a large family of viruses that are common in human beings as well animals camels, cattle, cats, and bats . The novel Corona virus disease COVID 19 has been spreading at a rapid rate across the world, which made World health organization WHO to declare it as a pandemic disease. A lot is still unknown about this virus. Signs and symptoms of corona virus disease 2019 COVID 19 may appear two to 14 days after exposure. The virus spreads by respiratory droplets released when someone with the virus coughs, sneezes or talks. It can also spread if a person touches a surface with the virus on it and then touches his or her mouth, nose or eyes. Today the only or basic prevention from this disease is "stay home", "wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds" and "cover your face with a cloth face covering in public spaces." Some of the important preventive measure is uses by government of india is Aarogya Setu app and Lockdown condition in country. As we all know there is no vaccine or medicine available against corona virus. So, prevention and good immunity is necessary for everyone because it is spread human to human. In Rajasthan, a combination of anti malaria, anti Swine flu and anti HIV drugs resulted into recovery. For boosting immunity daily practice of Yogasana, Pranayama and meditation for at least 30 minutes and some diet plan are advised by Ministry of AYUSH YOGAatHome StayHome StaySafe . Some enthusiastic slogans, poems, songs, videos, images, drawings are circulating on internet to showing unity by people towards nation and against corona.

The WHO played both positive and controversial roles in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic:
- Positively, the WHO helped countries prepare and respond, provided accurate information to counter myths, ensured supplies reached health workers, trained health workers, and coordinated vaccine research. However, the pandemic was still preventable.
- Controversially, the WHO was slow to declare a global emergency and was accused of turning a blind eye to China's initial response. Early recommendations on face masks also caused confusion.
- An independent review found the WHO and countries' combined response was inadequate and the world remains vulnerable to future pandemics without changes to strengthen global health cooperation.
Public health involves protecting and improving community health through education, policymaking, and research. It is a multidisciplinary field that applies biology, social sciences, and other areas to address health problems. An epidemic affects a large number of people within a community, while a pandemic spreads over multiple countries or continents. In India, public health focuses on prevention and has led to improved health outcomes such as reduced mortality, control of diseases like polio and tetanus, and use of digital tools to track health programs.

Coronaviruses can cause respiratory infections in humans ranging from the common cold to more serious diseases like MERS and SARS. A new coronavirus, COVID-19, was discovered in 2019 and has since spread globally. Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, dry cough, and fatigue, though some may experience milder symptoms. While most recover without treatment, around 20% of cases result in severe illness requiring medical help. The virus spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes. Maintaining hand hygiene and physical distancing are effective ways to protect against infection. Currently there are no proven vaccines or treatments, though research efforts are underway globally to develop them.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Preface
The current scenario of a pandemic has posed concerns and challenges all around
where scientific awareness and health preparedness can play a significant role to
help combat the situation with translation and usage of authentic scientific information
and to convey the risks involved and facilitate the communities to overcome the situation.
An effective science and health communication effort for promoting grass-root level
appreciation and response on the subject would be an advantage for saving and shaping
the lives of the people at large as well as building confidence, inculcating scientific temper
and promoting health consciousness amongst them to overcome the situation.
As we are aware, COVID 19 pandemic has created global health emergency today.
The virus has so far paused normal lives of the people compelling to stay indoors, work from
home, maintain social distancing and hygiene. In the present state of uncertainty, enormous
confusion is created among common man due to abundant supply of misinformation,
disinformation, fake news, mis-beliefs and rumors on various media platforms including
social media. While steps are being taken by different organizations to curtail and check
such info-demics, there is a need of concerted and sustained efforts to educate and
enable people to take informed decisions after due verification and analysis especially
when it comes to health and wellbeing of the people at large.
The National Council for Science & Technology Communication (NCSTC), Department
of Science and Technology is the apex body of the Government of India to promote
scientific awareness and scientific temper among masses. In view of the present crisis, the
NCSTC has initiated a nationally coordinated comprehensive programme on health and risk
communication with focus on COVID 19. A wide array of programmes and activities built
around awareness and outreach have been envisaged involving print, electronic, digital,
folk and interactive media to reach out to large cross sections of the society. In order to
facilitate necessary actions and preparedness of the society and to address the crisis,
the strategies were worked out by involving academic, research, media and voluntary
organizations.
In view of providing consolidated and authentic information on the global crisis to the
masses in an interesting and interactive mode, the NCSTC in association with Dr. Anamika
Ray Memorial Trust (ARMT), an educational and research organization, has brought out
multimedia guide carrying important information on A-to-Z of COVID 19, titled “COVID
Katha – A Multimedia Guide for Mass Awareness”.
Since its advent, multimedia has been an effective means of communication and
outreach. The innovative guide offers an interactive mode and one can find text, audio-
visual, graphics and other multimedia forms by clicking on the hyperlink to access desirable
information. Scientoons while carrying science messages and explaining the health concepts
in simple manner also add humour and amusement during the global health crisis when
people feel dull and stressed!
We are pleased to present the multimedia guide before the esteemed audience
and hope you’ll enjoy while going through it and exploring information.

ANTIDOTE World scientists are still in a race to find a coronavirus
antidote for its cure. Antidotes are meant for permanent
cure of any disease.
Antibiotics work for bacterial infections as per physician’s
direction, not for viruses; and COVID-19 is caused by a virus.
ANTIBIOTIC
Aarogya Setu, a mobile application developed by the
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India,
is about a facilitation of combined-fight against COVID-19.
This is an initiative particularly to reach out the people
and inform them the risks, best practices and relevant
advisories pertaining to the containment of COVID-19.

Strengthening immunity
BOOSTING
IMMUNITY
The immune system of a human body defends or protects
it from getting infected to any disease; and low immunity
is vulnerable to the novel coronavirus. Therefore, it is
important to keep the immunity high of the people. For
this, low carbohydrate diets are more important that help
control high blood sugar and pressure; slow down diabetes
and focus on protein-rich diet to keep you in good shape.
To boost the immunity, WHO prescribed regular consumption
of vegetables and fruits rich in Beta carotene, Ascorbic acid
and other essential vitamins A, B and C enriched foods like
mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, citrus fruits, bell pepper,
etc., and green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, etc., to
build resilience in the body against infections.

Tracing the origin of COVID-19
CORONAVIRUS Coronaviruses belong to a large family of viruses that
cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several
coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections
ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases
such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most
recently discovered coronavirus causes COVID-19.

DDiscipline
Matters
Disciplined preventive restrictions
DISTANCING Social and physical distancing is the immediate, disciplined
and the most effective action to fight against the threat.
Social distancing deliberately increases the physical space
between people to avoid spreading infection. Staying
at least one metre, i.e. six feet away from other people
lessens the chances of spread of infection.
It is a transmissible disease. The disease can spread from
person to person through small droplets from the nose
or mouth when a person with COVID-19 sneezes, coughs
or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces
around the person, which then comes into contact to other
people by touching these objects or surfaces. The virus also
spreads if they breathe in the aerosol formed in the air by
with the droplets from a person when he or she sneezes,
coughs out or exhales droplets. Aerosol is a suspension of
fine particles or liquid droplets in air or another gaseous
atmosphere.

EMERGENCY The COVID-19 outbreak was declared a Public Health
Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020.
The virus has grossly interrupted the normal lives of the
people and created panic in the society. It has created chaos
and increased the fear and anxiety among the people.
It has become a great challenge for the administration
and the government to control it till a cure is invented.
Therefore, the consequence has reached to the extreme
position globally.

INFORMATION
Info-demic refers to the epidemic of misinformation in
current context on Covid-19 crisis. It is simply all about
the fake news or information disorder on the outbreak of
this disease that misleads the trust of people from public
healthcare system. This poses a serious threat to people’s
dependence on the sources of information during this risk
and crisis period that may add extra problems. The World
Health Organization on February 15, 2020 launched a
platform to combat the increasing hold of misinformation
called Info-demic spread around COVID-19. Therefore,
it has become as important to flatten the curve of the
Info-demic as to flatten the curve of COVID-19. Press
Information Bureau (PIB), Govt. of India has launched
a factcheck portal. ARMT has launched an awareness
campaign #CheckTheFake to combat info-demic.

Regularly and thoroughly cleaning hands with an alcohol-
based sanitizer by hand rub or washing hands with soap
and water, maintaining at least one metre distance from
person having cough or sneezing, avoid touching your eyes,
nose and mouth, following good respiratory hygiene, like
covering mouth and nose with bent elbow or tissue while
coughing or sneezing, staying at home and updating on
the latest advisories, are some of the precautions globally
prescribed by the WHO that can reduce the chances of
being infected or spreading COVID-19.

HHelp
Self-help guidance for virus prevention
HYGIENE In order to protect oneself from the deadly virus, it is very
important to maintain the minimum hygiene at home, i.e.
maintaining the basic cleanliness. This cleanliness is not
only limited to one’s body; but must be associated with the
cleanliness of surroundings and hygienic consumption of
food. Use of mask is essential if a person has cough and
sneeze. Now normal masks are essential for all who venture
to move out and meet people for unavoidable urgent work.
HYDROXY-
CHLORO-
QUINE
It is an anti-malarial drug that at present is pampered as a
potential weapon to fight against the novel coronavirus all
over the world. Even for some countries, it is believed as a
‘miracle cure’ for COVID-19, though experts believe that it’s
too early to draw any conclusions. There has been various
clinical trials going on with this drug across the world. And
fortunately, India as the largest producer of this drug is
helping the world by exporting the drug to a large number
of countries.

IInfliction
Interfering the healthy societal structure
INFECTION It is about causing pain or damage not only to the body of
human beings; but to the mental stability and hope of a
person that have the capability to break our healthy societal
structure. COVID-19 has done similar damage. Infection
of COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of
saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person
coughs or sneezes, so it’s important to practice respiratory
etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
This may cause influenza that is a viral infection of virus
blocking the usual respiratory passage causing fever, cough
and other symptoms for the COVID-19 disease.

JJoint Efforts
Coordination and cooperation is the key
JUBILANT
WARRIORS
Those, who are joining this crisis of pandemic as a frontline
warrior and volunteer are jubilant in nature as they are
confidently working day and night to get triumph over this
deadly disease. At the same time, they are also happy to
serving the nation, more importantly while saving humanity.
JOURNEY It is very important to avoid all kinds of non-essential travels.
Most COVID-19 positive cases are imported, which later
spread to those who came into contact of the person who
brought the disease while travelling abroad and became
fomites. Fomites are the objects or materials which are
likely to carry infection.
It is important to avoid being exposed to the public
transport system and public places to avoid any likelihood
of exposure. In case one has to travel, he/ she should make
sure to cover their nose and mouth with a mask and carry
an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, at all times.
15. C VID KATHA | 11
KKnowledge
Knowledge is the power to cope with
KNOWING THE
COVID-19
As we know, the WHO has displayed the general
knowledge about the virus on its website and have been
trying to channelise this knowledge through various media
and communication platforms, like WhatsApp, etc. It is
practically important for each individual to have the basic
knowledge about the virus and spread the same to their
near and dear ones.
The Govt. of India launched a scientific portal to get
information on COVID-19, i.e. COVID Gyan. This website
serves as a hub to bring together a collection of resources
in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. These resources
are generated by public supported research institutions in
India and associated programmes. The content is based on
the best available scientific understanding of the disease.
16. C VID KATHA | 12
LLife
Pandemic affects the lifestyle
LOCKDOWN The seriousness of the disease and its increasing rate led
to the national lockdown in various countries. This is done
as an emergency protocol that prevents people from
moving out of a given area. A full lockdown means that one
must stay where they are and must not exit or enter a
building or the given area. This scenario usually allows for
essential supplies, grocery stores, pharmacies and banks
to continue to serve the people. All non-essential activities
remain shut for the entire period. In India, the lockdown
was initially given for 21 days, which was later extended to
another 19 days, i.e. 40 days altogether.
17. C VID KATHA | 13
MMisconceptions
Misbeliefs lead to disaster
MYTHS There are certain myths that need to be clarified, such as,
weather has no or little link with the spread of coronavirus,
it is not yet proved that it transmits through animals or
insects, like mosquitoes, hot water consumption or hot
bath do not contain it, hand dryers, alcohol or chlorine,
any antibiotics or garlic do not kill it, etc. Even the use of
N95 mask is not necessary for public. It is required for the
healthcare workers and doctors who are involved in the
corona virus treatment. WHO recommends to wear the
mask if one has the symptoms (especially coughing). In
fact, rational use of medical masks is important to avoid
unnecessary wastage of precious resources and misuse of
masks and resultant shortage of masks.
MIS-BELIEFS Some possibly due to their upbringing and cultural settings
feel that the virus will not cause infection to them and try to
break the rules of health hygiene and lockdown; they need
to be educated and motivated to follow the guidelines and
instructions issued by the authorities from time to time,
especially during the present crisis, for their own safety
and wellbeing of the society.

NNaming
WHO recognises the new name, scale and nature of the virus
NAMING WHO announced “COVID-19” (previously known as 2019
novel coronavirus) as the name of this new disease on
February 11, 2020, following guidelines previously developed
with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO). This new virus and disease were unknown before
the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.
It’s believed that in December 2019 someone at Huanan
Seafood Market in Wuhan was infected with a virus from
an animal.

OOminous Age
Vulnerable age groups
OLDER AND
CHILDREN
A particular age is an ominous sign for people suffering
from COVID-19. While people are still learning about how
COVID-2019 affects them, older persons and persons
with pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood
pressure, heart disease, lung disease, cancer or diabetes)
appear to develop serious illness more often than others.
Even children in some countries like China, UK, etc., are seen
vulnerable to this deadly virus.
20. C VID KATHA | 16
PProtection
Protecting and preventing the attack of virus
PANDEMIC WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be
characterised as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 at a media
briefing. Pandemic is the global epidemic, the term signifies
the prevention of the deadly disease.
PPE Infection prevention and control measures include, among
others, hand hygiene, Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) and waste management materials. The PPE consists
of garments placed to protect the healthcare workers or
any other persons from infection. These usually consist of
standard precautions and gloves, mask, gown. These are
the basic requirements, especially for the frontline workers.
21. C VID KATHA | 17
QQuiet and Quit
The simple mantra is to remain quiet indoors till the virus quits
QUARANTINE People who have been exposed to the new coronavirus
and are at risk of COVID-19 must practice self-quarantine.
Quarantine is about isolating oneself from the society and
people to contain the spread of the virus. Health experts
recommend that self-quarantine lasts 14 days. People who
have recent travel history or have been knowingly exposed
to an infected person must quarantine themselves without
having any visitors, staying at least 6 feet away from other
family members, maintaining hygiene and not sharing
towels or utensils. Once the quarantine period is ended,
one need to simply follow the doctor’s instructions to get
back to normalcy.

COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE)
Action Plan Guidance COVID-19 Preparedness and
Response tool is designed to support risk communication,
community engagement staff and responders working
with national health authorities, and other partners to
develop, implement and monitor an effective action plan
for communicating effectively with the public, engaging
with communities, local partners and other stakeholders
to help prepare and protect individuals, families and the
public health during early response to COVID-19.
In view of the present crisis, the NCSTC has initiated a
nationally coordinated comprehensive programme on
health and risk communication with focus on COVID 19.
A wide array of programmes and activities built around
awareness and outreach have been envisaged involving
print, electronic, digital, folk and interactive media to reach
out to large cross sections of the society.

SSight and Fight
Constant monitoring and watch over the situation may help
SYMPTOMS The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever,
tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches
and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or
diarrhoea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin
gradually. Sometimes, infected people don’t develop
any symptoms. Around 1 out of every 6 people who get
COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty in
breathing.
STRENGTH In order to come out of the shock to the mental and physical
health caused by the virus, people need to strengthen their
minds. This will bring in them a stability and help in taking
right decisions during this pandemic.

TTesting Trends
Global efforts to flatten the curve
TRACK
TRACE AND
TEST
Finding the place and people infected and test them to
easily contain the spread of novel coronavirus can be done
through this excellent thread of track, trace and test. It has
emphasised upon the more and more testing; but before
that it underlies the importance of tracking and tracing it.
Recently, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences
& Tech, Trivandrum, an Institute of National Importance,
under the Department of Science & Technology, Govt of
India, has developed a diagnostic test kit that can confirm
COVID 19 in two hours at a low cost.
25. C VID KATHA | 21
UUnderstanding
StressThe outbreak has mounted tremendous pressure
USING TIME Too much stress releases the hormone known as cortisol,
which impairs human response to immediate surroundings
and makes their body susceptible to infections; they are
left feeling constantly anxious. The best way to relieve
stress is through meditation, it is a tried and tested activity
to calm the nerves. The stress can be released through the
proper utilization of time.
Pursuing an indoor hobby, games or reading books, etc.,
could be the best ways to keep yourself engaged.

VVenture
In search of wonder drug and vaccine!
VACCINATION To date, there is no vaccine and no specific antiviral
medicine to prevent or treat COVID-2019. However, those
affected should receive care to relieve symptoms and let
it go. People with serious illness should be hospitalized.
Most patients recover, thanks to supportive care. Possible
vaccines and some specific drug treatments are under
investigation. They are being tested through clinical trials.
VENTILATION Ventilation is an emergency outlet in healthcare system of
any region. Till the vaccine becomes available or the crisis is
over, it is important to have secured places with adequate
life supporting system for the complicated COVID-19
cases. Since India is maintaining the ratio of less number
of complicated cases so far, the medical preparedness
seems adequate, though efforts are on to better augment
the system with sufficient life support facilities.
The SERB, DST has already supported initiatives to develop
innovative technological and pharmaceutical interventions
in this direction.

WWHO for
COVID-19
The World Health Organization helps address the pandemic
WHO WHO is at the forefront in the fight against the virus globally.
It continues to provide updated information as soon as
clinical findings become available. The primary role of the
WHO is to direct and coordinate international health within
the United Nations system. Its main areas of work are health
systems; health through the life-course; noncommunicable
and communicable diseases; preparedness, surveillance
and response; and corporate services. Working with 194
Member States, across six regions, and from more than
150 offices, WHO is responsible for coordinating and
sharing timely and accurate information to help overcome
the global health crisis.

The behavioural and attitudinal changes
XENOPHOBIA An increased xenophobia among the people across the
globe has been noticed. Most importantly, this xenophobia
has been more inclined to certain people. The impact of
this oral xenophobia has intensified especially when the
world is facing the unprecedented crisis in recent times.

Physical and mental energy is a must
YOGA FOR
STRESS
MANAGEMENT
Uncertainty, lack of control, and lack of information, are
primary triggers of stress. Due to the coronavirus, social
distancing leads to isolation, loss of our daily routines, and
less access to some coping strategies, etc. In the time of
coronavirus, what can we do to manage stress? Yoga is
one stress management tool that we can do at our homes.
Unlike some activities, people can practice yoga in a small
space with little or no equipment. We can practice on our
own, or with guidance.

ZZap
The origin has been traced to animals, though speculations on
ZOONOTIC Zoonotic diseases (also known as zoonoses) are caused
by germs that spread between animals and people.
Coronavirus is supposed to have a zoonotic origin. Animals
play an essential role in maintaining zoonotic infections in
nature. Zoonoses may be bacterial, viral, or parasitic, or
may involve unconventional agents. These germs can cause
different types of illnesses in humans and animals, ranging
from mild to serious illness and even death. Animals can
sometimes appear healthy even when they are carrying
germs that can make people sick, depending on the zoonotic
disease.
