The document summarizes the spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries in early 2020. It describes the symptoms and transmission of the virus, as well as control measures taken like travel restrictions. Analysis suggested the quarantine around Wuhan only modestly delayed spread within China. There were no specific antiviral treatments available yet. WHO is working to develop vaccines and coordinate the global response. Proper hygiene and social distancing are encouraged to slow transmission until a vaccine is found.
The Coronavirus Disease – 2019 (COVID-19) is officially now a pandemic and not just a public health emergency of international concern as previously labelled. Worldwide, the new coronavirus has infected more than 4.9 million people and leaving more than 300,000 people dead in 188 countries. As countries of the world get locked down in an effort to contain the widespread of the virus, experts are concern about the global impacts of the pandemic on individuals, countries and the world at large. Millions of people are currently under quarantine across the globe. Many countries have responded by proclaiming a public health emergency, closed their borders and restrict incoming flights from high risk countries. This has grossly affected the travel plan of many. Several international programs, conferences, workshops and sporting activities are either postponed or cancelled. As the number of confirmed cases continues to escalate across the globe, hospitals seems to be running out of medical supplies, hospital spaces and personnel. Health workers are being overwhelmed by the numbers of people requesting for testing and treatment. Many of such health workers have been infected with the coronavirus and even lost their lives since the fight against COVID-19 started. Public health experts are also concerned about the huge medical wastes coming from the hospitals at this time and the adverse effects associated with improper management of such medical wastes, both at the hospital and community levels. The pandemic has also impacted negatively on the global economy. There have been serious crises in the stock market, with gross fall in the price of crude oil resulting in inflation and economic hardship among the populace. Many are currently out of job and as a result, the level of crime, protest and violence have continued to escalate in different parts of the world. The deaths of loved ones due to the coronavirus has left many emotionally traumatized. Nigeria, like other African countries is not spared of the ravaging effects of the pandemic, even as the government take strict measures to contain the virus. No doubt, this is very challenging, but the country is capable of surmounting the virus with the needed help from her international partners and cooperation from the citizenry. But if we as a people, remain complacent and continue with business as usual, without taking measures to flatten the curve, the disease will escalate too quickly beyond our capacity to handle and our health system will be overwhelmed and may collapse eventually. We cannot therefore afford to be complacent in our response to containing the pandemic.

From late fall to winter of 2020, the further challenge of medical care for thetwindemic of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 COVID 19 and seasonal influenza is imminent. The key to that is the ability of family doctors to protect the front lines of community medicine. It is difficult not only for patients but also for doctors to distinguish COVID 19 from seasonal flu only based on initial symptoms such as fever and malaise. Every year, patients with suspected seasonal flu are tested and, if positive, are treated with influenza drugs. However, due to the expansion of COVID 19, tests using a nasopharyngeal swab have a high risk of droplet infection.

Correlation between Human Origin and the Severity of COVID19ijtsrd
It has been reported that the severity of coronavirus infectious disease COVID 19 is due to several factors such as age and the presence or absence of chronic disease. Furthermore, it has been reported that genetic factors affect the severity of COVID 19. A recently published study of the COVID 19 Host Genetics Initiative suggests that genetic manifolds in the region located on chromosome 3 may increase the risk of the severity of COVID 19.

Covid-19: risk assessment and mitigation measures in healthcare and non healt...Ahmed Hasham
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the third emerging human coronavirus, leading to fatal respiratory
distress and pneumonia. The disease originated in December 2019 in Wuhan City,
Hubei province, China. As of 23 November 2021, over 258 million cases and 5.1 million deaths
have been reported in more than 222 countries and territories worldwide. The COVID-19 is
under biological hazards group 4 of high risk of spreading to the community with the potential
to overwhelm the health system, especially in resource limited countries. Transmission
of COVID-19 within healthcare and non-healthcare facilities has been recorded. Therefore,
several authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), and other global partners issued guidance to mitigate the
COVID-19 pandemic in these facilities. A global emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic
requires various studies of mitigation measures and risk assessment. The Failure Mode and
Effects Analysis (FMEA) was used as a tool for risk assessment in healthcare and clinical
fields that assigns a numerical value to each risk associated with failure. Therefore, in this
review, the FMEA procedure was used to evaluate the COVID-19 risks and risk groups in
health care and non-healthcare workplaces. Proposed mitigation measures and risk ranking
tools were also summarized. The COVID-19 transmission risk should be theoretically and
practically reduced by applying the best hygienic practices. However, providing safe work
practices must be improved for infection control measures in healthcare and non-healthcare
workplaces. Additionally, it is recommended to reassess the risk of COVID-19 infection from
time to time, especially after vaccines availability.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face.

Covid 19 infection around the world is a huge challenge. The quarantine we are experiencing because of covid 19 has forced people from many parts of the globe to lead unexpected lives. Nowadays, quarantine has become a major public health intervention and is being used repeatedly whenever new emerging infectious diseases threaten to spread across the entire population. The consequence of implementing early and prolonged quarantine during this pandemic can be measured as lost productivity. This literature aimed to determine whether information about the effects of quarantine could change an individual's concern about covid 19. It investigated the associations between long period of quarantine and the problems created by it. The study provides an overview of the observed and the possible effects that may show up in the coming days.

COVID 19 is a contagious disease caused by a betacoronavirus, which began in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Until now, this new illness has affected more than 6 million people worldwide, and has claimed more than 300 000 human lives. Governments around the globe were faced with the coronavirus pandemic crisis and designed strategies to slow or halt viral transmission. Measures undertaken included enforcing countrywide lockdowns, banning mass gatherings, closing schools and businesses and halting international travel.

COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The Coronavirus pandemic is presently the topic of discussion among various segments of global society. From the developed North to the developing South, within economically poor and rich countries, the huge rates of infection and resulting deaths from the pandemic has surpassed anything seen for a long time. Health systems and economies in both developed and developing countries are challenged in ways never imagined. The global efforts to mitigate the effects of the pandemic are moving at a very fast pace. Public health information is one of the strategies being used to ensure that persons are knowledgeable about the pandemic and adopt practices and protocols that will stem infections within the community. This study was undertaken to gauge the knowledge levels of journalists in the Nigerian capital city of Abuja and the impact of the knowledge on their attitudes and practices. The knowledge, attitudes and practice study model were used to gauge the interrelatedness of these variables among the study group. Logit regression tests, t-tests, chi-square and descriptive analysis were used to determine knowledge levels as well as what factors influenced attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 within the group. Overall, knowledge level amongst the study group was good and had a positive impact on attitude patterns. However, there was no high positive correlation between knowledge and practices. It is suggested that journalists in Nigeria must adhere to public health protocols in order to be able to engage in multi-platform public health information awareness publications which will sensitize the public into observing the COVID containment protocols.

COVID-19 is a virus caused by acute respiratory syndrome and also known as novel coronavirus or SARS, which was first discovered in late December 2019. It is an RNA virus that is related to influenza (H1N1) and can cause major respiratory issues in affected people. Diagnoses can vary depending on the type of infection and the severity of symptoms may be similar to other viral and bacterial infections.
A Meta-Analysis of COVID-19. This meta-analysis does not provide all of the answers regarding the appropriate course of action but is intended to help provide clarity assessing many of the MEDICAL considerations at play in the current pandemic. A responsible course of action addressing this pandemic must balance out a range of interconnected Medical, Economic and Social considerations.
Cases of Covid19 first emerged in December 2019 when a mys.pdfagmbro1
Cases of Covid-19 first emerged in December 2019, when a mysterious illness was reported in
Wuhan, China. The cause of the disease was soon confirmed as a new kind of coronavirus, and
the infection has spread to a number of countries around the world. The Chinese Lunar New Year
holiday, the start of which coincided with the emergence of COVID-19, is the most celebratory time
of the year in China, during which a massive human migration takes place as individuals travel
back to their hometowns. People in China are estimated to make close to 3 billion trips over the
40-day travel period, or Chunyun, of the Lunar New Year holiday. About 5 million people left
Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province and epicentre of the COVID-19 epidemic, before the
start of the travel ban on Jan 23, 2020. About a third of those individuals travelled to locations
outside of Hubei province and these people were probably the main reason for the current global
pandemic. On 11 February the World Health Organization announced that the official name would
be covid-19, a shortened version of coronavirus disease 2019. The WHO refers to the specific
virus that causes this disease as the covid-19 virus. This is not the formal name for the virus - the
International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses calls it the "severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2", or SARS-CoV-2, because it is related to the virus that caused the SARS outbreak
in 2003. However to avoid confusion with SARS the WHO calls it the2003. However, to avoid
confusion with SARS the WHO calls it the covid-19 virus when communicating with the public. The
WHO's definition of a confirmed case of covid-19 is a person shown by laboratory testing to be
infected with the virus, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms. However, some reported case
numbers from China have included people with symptoms of covid-19, but without laboratory
confirmation. The coronavirus death toll in mainland China increased by 42 Sunday March1, 2020,
according to China's National Health Commission (NHC). All the new deaths were in Hubei
province. The additional deaths bring the total death toll in mainland China to 2,912, the NHC said.
There have been 129 deaths reported outside mainland China, raising the global death toll to
3,041. Scanned with CamScannerOther deaths across the globe include: - 54 deaths in Iran - 2
deaths each in Hong Kong - 34 deaths in Italy and France - 20 deaths in South 1 death each
reported in the Korea Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, - 12 deaths in Japan States The total number
of confirmed cases in mainland China is now 80,026 , bringing the global total to 88,443 . The
number of infected cases have also been increasing globally, including in Malaysia. Question:
Based on the whole scenario circulating covid-19, identify a potential "solution" that can help
control the pandemic from becoming a lot worse than what it is already today. The solution must

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Beginning in December 2019, Chinese health authorities have been closely monitoring
a cluster of pneumonia cases in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, China. The pathogen that
causes the viral pneumonia in affected individuals is the newly recognized coronavirus known
as severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (WHO, 2020). Early
reports predicted the onset of a potential Coronavirus outbreak given the estimate of a
reproduction number for the 2019 Novel (New) Coronavirus (COVID-19, named by WHO on
Feb 11, 2020) which was deemed to be significantly larger than 1 (ranges from 2.24 to 3.58)
(S. Zhao, etc 2020).
As of January 30, 2020, 7734 cases have been confirmed in China and 90 other cases
have also been reported from a number of countries that include Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam,
Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Japan, Singapore, Republic of Korea, United Arab
Emirates, United States, The Philippines, India, Australia, Canada, Finland, France, and
Germany. The case fatality rate was calculated to be 2.2% (170/7824) (M. Bassetti, etc 2020).
Patients infected with COVID-19 showed higher leukocyte numbers, abnormal respiratory
findings, and increased levels of plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines. One of the COVID-19
case reports showed a patient at 5 days of fever presented with a cough, coarse breathing sounds
of both lungs, and a body temperature of 39.0 °C. The patient's sputum showed positive real-
time polymerase chain reaction results that confirmed COVID-19 infection (J. Lei, etc 2020).
Based on the large number of infected people that were exposed to the wet animal
market in Wuhan City where live animals are routinely sold, it is suggested that this is the
likely zoonotic origin of the COVID-19. Efforts have been made to search for a reservoir host
or intermediate carriers from which the infection may have spread to humans. Initial reports
identified two species of snakes that could be a possible reservoir of the COVID-19. However,
to date, there has been no consistent evidence of coronavirus reservoirs other than mammals
and birds (M. Bassetti, 2020 & W. Ji, 2020).
Starting in early February 2020, 59 airline companies suspended or limited flights to
mainland China, and several countries—including the United States, Russia, Australia, and
Italy—have imposed government-issued travel restrictions (New York Times, 2020). this is
done to prevent the spread of the virus from becoming more widespread.
3. The experts have done several analyzes and the analysis of the COVID-19 outbreak and
the modeling assessment of the effects of travel limitations could be beneficial to national and
international agencies for public health response planning. We show that, by January 23, 2020,
the epidemic has already spread to other cities within mainland China. The travel quarantine
around Wuhan has only modestly delayed the spread of disease to other areas of mainland
China. This finding is consistent with the results of separate studies on the diffusion of SARS-
CoV-2 in mainland China (H. Tian, etc, 2020).
The person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 infection led to the isolation of
patients that were administered a variety of treatments. At present, there are no specific
antiviral drugs or vaccine against COVID-19 infection for potential therapy of humans. The
only option available is using broad-spectrum antiviral drugs like Nucleoside analogues and
also HIV-protease inhibitors that could attenuate virus infection until the specific antiviral
becomes available (H. Lu Drug, 2020). With 3405 deaths from covid-19, Italy’s fatalities now
exceed those of China. There were 427 deaths in the 24 hours until 6 pm on 19 March,
according to Italy’s civil protection chief Angelo Borrelli. China’s death toll is 3245. Two
doctors died from the covid-19 in Como on 19 March, according to the federation of Italian
doctors’ guilds. They were respiratory specialist Giuseppe Lanati and family doctor Luigi
Frusciante, both of whom had come out of retirement to work during the emergency. There
have now been 13 deaths among Italian doctors, the federation said. (Day, Michael, 2020).
Extensive measures to reduce person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 are required
to control the current outbreak. Special attention and efforts to protect or reduce transmission
should be applied to susceptible populations including children, health care providers, and
elderly people. A guideline was published for the medical staff, healthcare providers, and,
public health individuals and researchers who are interested in the 2019-nCoV (Y.H. Jin, L,
etc, 2020).Also it has been reported that some of the Asian populations are more susceptible to
acquire this COVID-19 infection when compared to the other races populations (Xu, 2020).
Following are the protective measures given by WHO (2020d),
1. Wash hands completely using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer will kill the virus,
2. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth when outside.
3. Be updated about the virus.
4. 4. Avoid travelling or gathering in crowded places.
5. Women with infants are encouraged to breastfeed their babies to enhance their
immunity.
WHO is coordinating efforts to develop vaccines and medicines to prevent and treat
COVID-19 (WHO, 2020d). National Institutes of Health (NIH), has mentioned that SARS-
CoV-2 could survive for up to 3 h maximum as aerosols to a maximum of three days on
surfaces. Slowing the spread of the COVID-19 cases will significantly reduce the strain on the
healthcare system of the country by limiting the number of people who are severely sick by
COVID-19 and need hospital care. It will also give researchers more time to develop the
vaccine against COVID-19. So, it's time for all the citizens to join hands together to fight
against coronavirus by practicing self-hygiene and social distancing (Balachandar Vellingir,
etc, 2020).
It is hoped that with our health and hygiene we will be able to release us from the
COVID-19 virus and a vaccine for this virus can be found soon, and we can return to our daily
lives without fearing overshadowed by this virus.
