Social Distancing Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus

2020

After the World Health Organization announced that coronavirus is a pandemic, and in front of the widespread of this disease, it was decided that people should practice social distancing by avoiding public spaces, keep at least 6 feet between them and others if they must go out, they do not attend or host large gatherings, avoid using mass transit, and stay home as much as they can. All of these practices led to the streets of major capitals and cities of the world became ghost cities; this paper attempts to highlight the seriousness of coronavirus disease on the one hand and show the importance of practice social distance to reduce and limit the spread of Covid-19 over the globe on the other hand .

Social distancing is one kind of preventative measure to reduce the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 transmits mainly from one person to another during close contact for a prolonged period. Different types of preventive measures like thermal screening, social distancing, hand sanitization, office sanitization, building sanitization etc. are taken by an organization for smooth functioning of the organization. Implementation of social distancing in the organization is really a challenging task. Some work is done by the group of people and some work may be done by the individual. In some cases symptom of COVID-19 is shown but it in some cases its symptoms are not shown. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19. Social distancing helps the limit opportunities to come in contact with infected person and contaminated surface in an organization. The challenging task is taking decision in implementing social distance among employee in the organization. Organization may use different types of sampling methods to check the performance of employee or organization after introducing social distancing in its institution. In the present paper the authors will try to explain the importance of social distancing in mathematical way to combat COVID-19 transmission.

Corona virus (COVID-19) causes an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract, with terminating illness of failure of lungs. Being a viral disease, no ensconced drug for control is known and it is picked up by a new host the man as droplets in air released by a patient. The virus has been detected in 215 countries and World Health Organization (WHO) declared as an epidemic and pandemic. The common structures of social contact critically determine the spread of the infection from a patient; in the dearth of vaccines, the control of the virus has been its prevention of spread through systematic ‘social distancing measures’. Furthermore, the use of cotton facemask in public places and while dealing with one has been the robust method of prevention of spread of the virus from sneezing or talking with anyone. It was seen from January to April 2020 counties followed social distancing procedures without touching; hand-shaking or hugging with any one had least number of COVID-19 affec...

BACKGROUND: Similar to other coronaviruses, COVID-19 is transmitted mainly by droplets and is highly transmissible through close proximity or physical contact with an infected person. Countries across the globe have implemented public health control measures to prevent onward transmission and reduce burden on health care settings. Social or physical distancing was found to be one of appropriate measure based on previous experience with epidemic and pandemic contagious diseases. AIM: This study aims to review the latest evidence of the impact of social or physical distancing implemented during COVID-19 pandemic toward COVID-19 and other related infectious disease transmission. METHODOLOGY: The study uses PRISMA review protocol and formulation of research question was based on PICO. The selected databases include Ovid MEDLINE and Scopus. Thorough identification, screening and eligibility process were done, revealed selected 8 articles. The articles then ranked in quality through Mixed Method Appraisal Tool. RESULTS: A total of eight papers included in this analysis. Five studies (USA, Canada, South Korea and the United Kingdom) showed physical distancing had resulted in a reduction in Covid-19 transmission. In comparison, three other studies (Australia, South Korea and Finland) showed a similar decline on other infectious diseases (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, other sexually transmitted infections, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and Vaccine-Preventive Disease. The degree of the distancing policy implemented differs between strict and lenient, with both result in effectiveness in reducing transmission of infectious disease. CONCLUSION: Physical or social distancing may come in the form of extreme or lenient measure in effectively containing contagious disease such as COVID-19, however the stricter the measure will give more proportionate impact toward the economy, education, mental health issues, morbidity and mortality of non-COVID-19 diseases. Since we need this measure to ensure the reduction of infectious diseases transmission to help flattening the curve which allow much needed time for healthcare system to prepare adequately to response, "Precision physical distancing" can be implemented which will have more benefit toward the survival of the community as a whole.

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus also known as COVID-19 was declared as a public health emergency by the WHO where over a million people have been affected by the disease with over 50000 deaths till date. Social distancing is a method to minimize crowd interactions and prevent the spread of disease within groups of people. This is a common practice which has been carried out over generations to minimize the spread of virus by limiting its reproduction rate (R0) among communities. The article focuses on how social distancing has been used to deal previous pandemics globally and the issues that needs to be addressed to tackle the COVID-19 threat.

The world currently faces the predicament of the fast-spreading COVID-19 which as of 21st April 2020 affects 210 countries over the globe. As the disease started spreading its shadow at an alarmingly rapid rate, new information about the novel coronavirus was extracted and it has been reported to be mainly transmitted directly from person-to-person, droplet spread by cough or sneezing or by fomites. Till an effective vaccine becomes available the most potent preventive measure that can be taken is for people to maintain distance and avoid gatherings. Importance of social distancing has been discussed on many forums and disseminated among the public but the problem arises when the practical implementation does not encompass the entirety of the theoretical concepts. Understanding the barriers that stand between applying social distance in community is imperative if authorities and public health sectors expect a substantial change in incident cases. It's imperative that measures sh...

'Governance' is one of the most contested concepts and has extensively been used both in academic debate and in the political, social, and managerial rhetoric, positioned as a 'buzzword' but 'rich and full of meaning'. Underlying governance practices and concepts, there are theories supporting the idea of versions of governance. This article seeks to elaborate three prime moments in mainstream governance theories. The first moment has brought about the primacy of network as governance. The second moment has brought interpretive ideas to the analysis of governance resulting in the typical decentred theory of governance and other alternative approaches. The third moment has called for bringing the hierarchy and the state back in to the analysis of governance. These moments are not mutually exclusive. However, they reflect different emphases of analytics which arguably can be mentioned as different schools of governance theories. And these three schools are dominant in the contemporary debate; they are well-cited in academic works and applied in various fields.

Στα φύλλα 217r-220r του κώδικα Parisinus graecus 1310 που χρονολογείται στον 15ο αιώνα1 παραδίδονται 21 αποσπάσματα, τα οποία, σύμφωνα με τον τίτλο στο φ. 217r (Περὶ θεοῦ κοινῶς· ἤτοι περὶ θεότητος τοῦ ἀρεοπαγίτου), φαίνεται ότι προέρχονται από το corpus των έργων που αποδίδεται στον Διονύσιο Αρεοπαγίτη.2 Στο φ. 220r-v, μετά από τον τίτλο Περὶ θεοῦ κοινῶς ἐκ τοῦ ἁγίου Μαξίμου, ακολουθούν 7 αποσπάσματα που παραπέμπουν στο έργο του Μάξιμου του Ομολογητή. Μια περισσότερο λεπτομερής εξέταση, ωστόσο, αποδεικνύει ότι στην πραγματικότητα και τα 28 αυτά αποσπάσματα προέρχονται στο μεγαλύτερό τους μέρος από την Πανοπλία δογματική του Ευθυμίου Ζιγαβηνού, τη γνωστή συλλογή κειμένων που χρονολογείται στον 11ο-12ο αιώνα και περιέχει αποσπάσματα από έργα των Πατέρων της Εκκλησίας.3 Τα αποσπάσματα του Paris. gr. 1310 προ

This paper evaluates the contribution of creativity to entrepreneurship theory and practice in terms of building an holistic and transdisciplinary understanding of its impact. Acknowledgement is made of the subjectivist theory of entrepreneurship which embraces randomness, uncertainty and ambiguity but these factors should then be embedded in wider business and social contexts. The analysis is synthesised into a number of themes, from consideration of its definition, its link with personality and cognitive style, creativity as a process and the use of biography in uncovering data on creative entrepreneurial behaviour. Other relevant areas of discussion include creativity's link with motivation, actualisation and innovation, as well as the interrogation of entrepreneurial artists as owner/managers. These factors are embedded in a critical evaluation of how creativity contributes to successful entrepreneurship practice. Modelling, measuring and testing entrepreneurial creativity are also considered and the paper includes detailed consideration of several models of creativity in entrepreneurship. Recommendations for future theory and practice are also made.
