COVID-19 is an acute disease in humans caused by a corona virus, which is
characterized mainly by fever and cough and is capable of progressing to severe
symptoms and in some cases death, especially in older people and those with
underlying health conditions. It was originally identified in China in 2019 and became
pandemic in 2020.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate
respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. However, some
will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older people and those with
underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic
respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone can
get sick with COVID-19 and become seriously ill or die at any age.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed
about the disease and how the virus spreads. Protect yourself and others from
infection by staying at least 1 metre apart from others, wearing a properly fitted mask,
and washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently. Get vaccinated
when it’s your turn and follow local guidance.
The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small
liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe. These particles range
from larger respiratory droplets to smaller aerosols. It is important to practice
respiratory etiquette, for example by coughing into a flexed elbow, and to stay home
and self-isolate until you recover if you feel unwell.
The pandemic and school closures not only jeopardized children’s health
and safety with domestic violence and child labor increasing, but also impacted
student learning substantially. The report indicates that in low- and middle-income
countries, the share of children living in Learning Poverty – already above 50 percent
before the pandemic – could reach 70 percent largely as a result of the long school
closures and the relative ineffectiveness of remote learning.
On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the
outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),
which is the virus responsible for the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), had
reached the level of a global pandemic. Within one week, over 107 nations around the
world had closed all schools and affected the lives of more than 862 million students
around the world.
