How to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the most vicious threat this world has faced in our lifetime. Everyone is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, it is above all a human crisis with severe health and socio-economic consequences. This virus is extraordinary in our existence and requires an out of the ordinary solution. Apparently, in such conditions, it is likely that the same facts have had different readings by different experts. Once we have finally turned the leaf on this widespread virus, there must be a time to look back fully to comprehend how such a virus developed and spread its destruction so quickly across the world, and how all those involved responded to the pandemic. The results learned will be vital to efficiently address the same challenges, as they may arise in the future.

Now is the time for unity, for the international community to work together in unity to halt this virus and its devastating costs. In the recent studies they issued important ways on how we should respond to the COVID-19 virus. 1. Strengthening community health and support systems. Neighborhood-based teams should be form as the frontline of efforts to delay the COVID-19’s spread and locally contain the pandemic by communicating risk, facilitating contact tracing, and connecting communities with broader local health systems; 2. Supporting a data-driven response. Introduce new, centralized data system across regions with different needs and infrastructure that can be challenging and uneven; 3. Distributing essential health equipment. Provide the Frontline health workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to care for their patients safely; and 4. Prioritizing good sanitation and hygiene for all. We all should recognized that good sanitation and hygiene are critical to slowing the spread of COVID-19.

The government should also implement strict border control, early implementation of lockdowns, establishment of quarantine facilities, effective communication to the public, and continuous monitoring efforts so we could curtail the harm that was brought by the pandemic. If these policies are to be standardized, it would help any country’s preparedness for future health emergencies.
