EFFECTS OF COVID 19 ON RESIDENT'S WELL-BEING AND EDUCATION

Abstract

Background: Objective: Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) outbreaks triggered by the new strain of the coronaviruses or corona virus family emerged in Wuhan Town, Hubei Province of China since December 2019. Many proven as well as suspected cases of covid-19 were also registered in different provinces, administrative regions and towns of china. This virulent virus was named by the WHO as 2019-nCoV (1). Despite the general vulnerability of Chinese people, the National Health Commission on 20th January 2020 listed pneumonia induced by new infections with coronavirus as a Class B contagious diseases and treated it as a Class A contagious diseases (2). Around the same period, the first-level approach to serious public health crisis was launched by all states, regional governments and communities directly under the Central Government but the strictest preventive and control initiatives were enforced. NHC China briefly identified pneumonia induced by the contact of the virus as a novel coronavirus illness on 21st February 2020 (3). What originally looked like a localized infection in December 2019 in China's Hubei state, it soon became apparent that COVID-19 had pandemic potential. But it was nearly two months until the WHO proclaimed a truly global pandemic. The number of causalities in Italy now surpasses those recorded (80,000) in China, and the epidemic in Iran may have caused seed cases in Pakistan and Afghanistan (4).
