THE IMPACT OF COVID PANDEMIC ON THE WORLD
On 11th March 2020, the WHO carried out a virtual press conference and confirmed our
fears
...
Lockdowns were imposed, economies brought to a
grinding halt and travel was shutdown
...

Many of us suffered gruelling days - battling fever, weakness, and breathlessness, losing jobs
and loved ones
...
The
dilemma that faces many individuals, governments and businesses is whether there will be a
return to life as was pre-2020
...

1
...
Masks and sanitizers are now compulsory items in our shopping and
travel lists
...
Today, there are masks in fashion lines and various designs to suit your needs
...

2
...
A
study conducted by the Centre for Disease Control found that the percentage of Americans
reporting symptoms of anxiety increased about three times and the percentage of people with
symptoms of depression increased about four times, compared with previous levels
...
Overall,
the survey found that nearly 41% of participants reported symptoms of at least one mental
health issue
...
There is an urgent need to address the mental health consequences of the
pandemic, such as through increased access to resources for diagnosis and treatment of
mental health conditions

...
7 at the American
Geophysical Union's 2020 fall meeting
...

In some places, air pollution is diminishing, water quality is improving, and snow is
becoming more reflective
...

One study found that the concentration of an air pollutant called Particulate Matter (PM)
decreased around a third to a fourth of the pre-pandemic level in India
...
However, after easing
off most of the restrictions, air pollution levels have already returned to pre-pandemic levels
in 12 major world cities
...
This is because the changes
made were temporary and have come at the greatest possible cost
...


Healthcare

Healthcare systems have undergone and are still experiencing drastic changes
...
Vaccine makers have put rivalry aside and have
collaborated and joined forces to develop a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine
...
Countries are now sharing
treatments with academics, expertise, research findings and manufacturing capability around
the world to help mitigate the effects of the virus and save lives
...


Education

Before the pandemic, lectures were traditionally on a one-on-one basis, contact learning
...
Many classroom lectures were held via Zoom and Google Meet
...
Both lecturers and students find this new trend appealing to the extent
that when some schools proposed a continuation of the pre-pandemic teaching method, there
was a massive protestation from students and lecturers alike
...


Transportation

Passengers aboard public means of transport must maintain a safe distance, adhere to the
mask mandate, and provide proof of vaccination
...
However, this has resulted in increased
travel fares as these companies must compensate for the empty seat
