The name coronavirus comes from the Latin word corona, meaning crown or halo. Under an electron microscope, the image of the virus looks like a solar corona.
The outbreak and subsequent spread of COVID-19 to the West African sub-region have brought significant changes to the different aspects of our lives and grounded educational and socio-political and economic activities of ECOWAS member states. The pandemic has exposed the poor state of the health systems and shortage in medical supplies and protective gears to cope with the health emergency. In response, strict restrictions were put in place to curb the spread of the virus and these have drastically affected peoples’ lifestyles. However, there has been huge increase in the use of technology in business, education, religion and other activities as people adapt to the changing times in the sub-region. It is the argument of this paper that things cannot return to the way they were before the pandemic, but West African states must strategically plan for the Post COVID-19 era to survive the massive wave of unemployment, socio-economic meltdown and changes in lifestyle. The paper concluded that while the fight against the virus in the sub-region was not collective, post-pandemic recovery must be coordinated, strategically plannedamong member states. It was recommended that the governments should be flexible enough to retain the use of ICT and technology alongside the conventional ways of doing things in the post-pandemic era.

Prevention and spread on corona posterGaurav Patil
This is a poster presentation on a topic name Covid-19: Spread and prevention. It includes a brief information about novel coronavirus spread and prevention in simple form.
For decades, it has been acknowledged by the world’s premier health authorities that amid a pandemic, the functioning of society should be maintained, and human rights upheld. Governments and health organisations have at their disposal country-specific pandemic preparedness plans, as well as the World Health Organisation pandemic guidelines, which provide a roadmap outlining how to keep society functioning, while also mitigating the impact of a disease or virus.
In 2020, SARS-CoV-2 brought an almost–instantaneous rewriting of disease management principles as countries, with few exceptions, disregarded existing pandemic plans and replaced them with policies of ‘lockdown’.
There is no evidence that lockdowns have reduced mortality from Covid-19 and research is now revealing the devastation that lockdowns are causing, particularly in the developing world. In these draconian lockdown policies, we have also seen the biggest infringement on civil liberties in democratic countries during peacetime.
PANDA believes that, at this juncture, the science is quite clear on what key policy responses should be—or should have been. The cure should not be worse than the disease. It is critically important that societies are reopened, whilst protecting those who may be vulnerable to serious illness from SARS-CoV-2. Human agency must be upheld, and individuals should be empowered to make their own choices.
PANDA’s Protocol for Reopening Society builds upon existing pandemic frameworks and incorporates current scientific understanding of Covid-19, to provide a roadmap out of the damaging cycle of lockdowns.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Coronaviruses -large family of RNA viruses
Structure -petal shaped spikes surrounding
the virus and resembling the ‘solar corona’,
hence the name.
They mostly infect animals, including
camels, cattle, cats and bats.
2019- Novel Coronavirus belongs to group
of newer Human Coronaviruses including
SARS, MERS which have evolved and
infect and spread amongst humans usually
causing severe respiratory illness and
outbreaks.
4. Current Outbreak:
31st December 2019:
WHO was alerted to several cases of pneumonia in Wuhan
City, Hubei Province of China of unknown etiology
31st Dec 2019 – 3 rd Jan 2020:
44 cases with pneumonia of unknown etiology in China
7th Jan 2020 :
China isolated a new type of coronavirus
12th Jan 2020:
China shared the genetic sequence of the new coronavirus
which did not match any other known virus
Temporarily named “2019-nCoV.” 2019- novel coronavirus
5. MODE OF SPREAD:
Initially, many cases had some link to a
large seafood and animal market,
suggesting animal-to-person spread.
However, now It is suggested that person-
to-person transmission might be occurring
It is thought to be similar to Influenza,
SARS, i.e. commonly through respiratory
droplets produced when an infected
person coughs or sneezes
6. CLINICAL SIGNS/ SYMPTOMS
For confirmed 2019-nCoV infections,
reported illnesses have ranged from infected
people with little to
no(asymptomatic)symptoms to people being
severely ill and dying.
Symptoms can include: Fever, Cough,
Shortness of breath.
In severe illness: Severe Acute Respiratory
illness, Pneumonia, Renal failure, Death
Symptoms of 2019-nCoV may appear in as
few as 2 to 14 days after exposure –
Incubation period(Window period)
7. PREVENTION
There is currently no vaccine
The best way to prevent infection is to avoid
exposure and preventing transmission
Avoid all non essential travel
Observe good personal hygiene
Wash your hands often with soap and water
for at least 20 secs. If soap and water are not
available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
with unwashed hands(open membranes).
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick.
8. PREVENTION
Observe respiratory etiquettes-
While coughing or sneezing cover mouth and
nose with flexed elbow or tissue, then throw
the tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched
objects and surfaces
Food Safety
The consumption of raw or undercooked
animal products should be avoided
Avoid direct unprotected contact with live
animals
9. Preparedness and Response: Infection
Prevention and Control Measures in a hospital
setup
Should be initiated at first point of contact
with a suspected patient
All Standard precautions need to be
undertaken: HAND HYGIENE USE OF PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment)
SHARP INJURY WASTE MANAGEMENT
DISINFECTION
APPLY CONTACT PRECAUTIONS
APPLY AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS – when
performing Aerosol Generating Procedure
10. Personnel Protective Equipment(
PPE)
The use of protective gears should be
made mandatory for all the personnel if
chances of close contact with suspected
or diagnosed patient is
anticipated/inevitable.
N-95 masks only to be used for people
who are likely to come in close contact
with the patient(One meter) or while taking
samples or doing procedures which can
generate aerosols.
11. COVID Care Centres are experiencing
anxious time at present for various reasons:
Anxious Staff
Anxious Residents
Anxious Relatives
Staff off sick
Staff Self Isolating
Staff shielding
PPE Shortage, Increase in cost & Scammers
Constantly changing guidelines
Conflicting guidelines from different regulatory bodies
Experts on Facebook pages
Monitor the guidelines daily and be prepared to change accordingly at moments notice.
Conduct Zoom meetings daily and weekly with a number of groups to remain up to date and
compliant.
Ensure we have communicated the correct information at the right time to the relative people in a
clear and concise manner.
Ensure we have all the evidence necessary to prove what, when, how and to whom we did things
for future investigation.
12. TREATMENT
There is no specific antiviral treatment
recommended
Issues on asymptomatic released
HOW?
Answer: Immune System
People infected with 2019-nCoV
should receive supportive care to help
relieve symptoms.
For severe cases, treatment should
include care to support vital organ
functions.
13. COVID-19 and Social Interaction in
Academia
COVID-19, a pandemic that has caused many health related effects,
thus impacting a multitude of individuals worldwide.
With the continual increase of COVID-19 health effects, many
systematic structures are forced online platform
One of the major fields that have been moved to an online platform is
Academia. Large number of colleges and universities are making
substantial changes to how to provide education, with many closing
campuses and moving to online classes.
Before the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, social interaction was
highly valued. Nowadays, due to the Covid-19, social interactions
have been forced to change.
In future, social distancing will be inscribed into society, unless other
interventions such as vaccines, drug therapies and aggressive
quarantine measures can be put into place.
14. Social Interactions Before COVID-19
In person interaction before COVID-19
● Human interaction was valued and expected.
● In person gatherings were encouraged
● Individuals in systematic Institutions were able to continue their daily routines.
● Education provided full access to schools and Universities.
● Classrooms remained the primary source of learning.
● Many careers remained open and allowed flexibility.
● Virtual platforms were utilized for everyday communications, but did not
replace face-to-face interaction.
Online Interaction before COVID-19
● Normality has changed forcing individuals to accommodate the new changes.
● Education- allowed for online access (online classes etc), but online education
was not the dominant form.
● Discussion boards, chatrooms, and email platforms were the main online
features for online education.
● Zoom and other platforms like it, were typically utilized for work meetings,
international calls, and for interactions with friends/family.
● The usage reports for these companies were low.
15. Social Interactions During COVID-19
Although we are aware that drastic changes have to be made
to maintain the health and overall control of the coronavirus,
In what ways are we fighting to maintain the human needs
and social interactions during the pandemic?
● Students continue online classes via Zoom with hopes of
reopening of institutions in the fall.
● Necessary stores remain open such as, grocery stores and
emergency services. To prevent the spread of the virus,
masks are required and a limited number of people are
allowed within essential stores at a time.
● Other than Zoom, social media applications have also
expanded and are now opening new application to help
maintain small business.
16. Social Interactions Post COVID-19
The way we think toward social interaction
will forever be shadowed by the pandemic
of 2020.
How often we clean and wash our hands,
the amount of time we spend on social
media, our familiarity with online
purchasing, and our connection to
technology will all continue to grow to
become a norm (New Normal).
17. Social and Psychological Support
The mental health of the population is at risk as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
International study reveals that 1 in 2 people felt down, depressed, or hopeless about the
future.
A UN policy briefing found that during the pandemic:
● 47% of healthcare workers in Canada reported needing psychological support
● 50% of healthcare workers in China reported depression
● 42% of healthcare workers in India reported moderate psychological distress
SUPPORT
Listen for the different voices Encourage people to share their emotional reactions,
recognising that different people will tell you in different ways.
Look for the things that unite people in a positive way, how can we collectively contribute
and articulate it.
Communicate! Make sure what you communicate doesn’t have a particular weight or
message to one group or need
Give as much information as you can – silence creates a vacuum in which anxiety can
thrive.
Keep communicating what you are doing to keep people safe and well
Service users and staff
Create moments of calm Acknowledge the uncertainty, worries and anxiety
Find the positives stories
Encourage and provide the moments of calm, space and reflection
Create the moments of calm

arrival of the returnees across the country
It is a crucial time to be more positive, and to maintain sound mind and good health, but one cannot
come to a conclusion regarding the spread of the pandemic. Rather, we can say that the real fight
against the pandemic begins right now.
The people of the state, including the bureaucrats and the politicians, are on the same boat and are
fighting the virus. But the real fighters are the frontline Covid-19 workers and the common people, not
the people in power. At the present juncture, the main function of the state government is to extend
every logistic support to the police personnel, the health workers and the voluntary Covid-19 warriors.
We cannot deny the fact that providing health infrastructure for hassle-free treatment of Covid-19
patients is an important task at the hands of government. At the same time, logistic support from the
government to the health workers, the police personnel and the volunteers is most important.
Hopefully, the doctor community, police personnel and the common citizens of the state will get
enough time to prepare themselves in the fight against Covid-19. The majority of the health workers,
who were not mentally prepared at the initial stage, are now doing a wonderful job without caring about
their own lives.
Now the onus of fighting Covid-19 lies on everyone.
Conduct antigen tests in all the districts, and that no fee will be charged for the test till 3 August.

41. Social Research :
Social Model of Health
Social Model of Health Definition: • The
Social Model of Health takes into account
the SOCIAL, CULTURAL,
ENVIRONMENTAL and ECONOMIC
determinants which AFFECT health and
produce INEQUITIES within the
population rather than the disease or
injury itself. Key Point: • If these
determinants can be addressed, many
diseases eg CVD, diabetes mellitus Type
2, obesity can be prevented
42. Social Model of Health • Addresses the
broader influences on health eg social,
cultural, environmental & economic
factors, rather than the disease or injury
itself • It does this by taking into account
the social determinants of health E.g.
access to health care, SES, social
connectedness as if you have those, you
will have a higher health status and
many diseases can be prevented or
managed. • Works together with the
Biomedical Model of health
43. Addresses the broader determinants of health: •
Acknowledges the influence of GENDER, CULTURE,
RACE, ETHNICITY, SES, GEOGRAPHICAL,
LOCATION and the influence they can have on health
status & health Acts to reduce social inequities: • If
community/government can improve SES, or social
exclusion or issues with race or gender, health status
will improve Empowers individuals & communities: •
People will change their behaviour if they feel they have
control and know how to do it Acts to enable access to
health care: • If people have affordable, cultural and
geographical access to health care, their health status
will improve Involves intersectoral collaboration: • Many
different organisations and community groups can work
together to improve health status
44. Social Model of health Advantages?
• Promoted good health and assists in preventing
diseases
• Promotes overall wellbeing
• Relatively inexpensive
• Focuses on population groups that are in need
• Education is passed on
• Health isn’t the responsibility of just the individual but
also health sectors
Disadvantages?
• Not every condition can be prevented
• Does not promote the development of technology and
medical knowledge
• Does not address the health concerns of an individual
• Health promotion messages can be ignored.
45. COVID-19: impact of social determinants of health
While COVID-19 has increasingly demonstrable that social inequalities in health are profoundly, and unevenly, impacting
COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.
Many social determinants of health—including poverty, physical environment (eg, smoke exposure, homelessness,
congestion), and race or ethnicity—can have a considerable effect on COVID-19 outcomes. Homeless families are at
higher risk of viral transmission because of crowded living spaces and scarce access to COVID-19 screening and testing
facilities.
It is also poignant that physical distancing measures, which are necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19, are
substantially more difficult for those with adverse social determinants and might contribute to both short-term and long-
term morbidity.
School closures increase food insecurity for children living in poverty who participate in school lunch programs.
Malnutrition causes substantial risk to both the physical and mental health of these children, including lowering immune
response, which has the potential to increase the risk of infectious disease transmission (Dunn CG, Kenney E,
Fleischhacker SE, Bleich SN. 2020. Feeding low-income children during the Covid-19 pandemic. N Engl J Med.; 382: e40)
People or families who are homeless are at higher risk of infection during physical lockdowns especially if public spaces
are closed, resulting in physical crowding that is thought to increase viral transmission and reduce access to care (Tsai J,
Wilson M.2020. COVID-19: a potential public health problem for homeless populations. Lancet Public Health.; 5: e186-
e187)
Being able to physically distance has been dubbed an issue of privilege that is simply not accessible in some
communities (Yancy CW. 2020. COVID-19 and African Americans. JAMA. published online April 15.
DOI:10.1001/jama.2020.6548)
The effect of social determinants of health and COVID-19 morbidity is perhaps underappreciated (Federico MJ, McFarlane
2nd, AE, Szefler SJ, Abrams EM. 2020.
Additionally, mitigating social determinants—such as improved housing, reduced overcrowding, and improved nutrition—
reduces the effect of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, even before the advent of effective medications (Butler-
Jones D, Wong T. 2016. Infectious disease, social determinants and the need for intersectoral action. Can Commun Dis
Rep.42: 118-120) •
It is projected that recurrent wintertime outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 will likely occur after this initial wave, necessitating
ongoing planning over the next few years.
• Studies are required to measure the effect of COVID-19 on individuals with adverse social determinants and innovative
approaches to management are required, and might be different from those of the broader population.
46. MOVING FORWARD
As the lessons of COVID-19 are considered, social
determinants of health must be included as part of
pandemic research priorities, public health goals, and
policy implementation.
While the relationships between these variables needs
elucidating, measures that affect adverse determinants,
such as reducing exposure, regular income support to
low-income households, access to testing and shelter
among the homeless, and improving health-care access
in low income neighborhoods have the potential to
dramatically reduce future pandemic morbidity and
mortality.
More broadly, the effects of COVID-19 have shed light
on the broad disparities within our society and provides
an opportunity to address those disparities moving
