“…The global pandemic of COVID-19 affected the respective national gross domestic products (GDPs) ranging from 0.1 to 0.4%. However, this pandemic decreased the tourism arrival in many developing Asian economies by 50 to 90% compared to the previous year (9,22). In India, during lockdown, the agricultural sector and many supply chains (distribution, transport hurdles, marketing and processing) were greatly affected (23).…”

Studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on animal welfare and dairy husbandry in low-income countries are limited. We conducted a survey between February and June 2020 to evaluate the economic impact and animal health problems upon the pandemic. Participants were lead veterinarians from 14 dairy farms with herd size between 100 and 500 in Lahore. These farms were major suppliers of milk and dairy products to central Punjab, Pakistan. During the pandemic, 10 of the 14 dairy farms relied on feed mill concentrates to provide feeds to their herds. Half of the farms reported feed shortage due to lockdowns. Six (43%) dairy farms have witnessed a 7.5% shortage of dry feed intake. In seven (50%) farms, the body condition score decreased by 0.24 point. The body score reduction was significantly associated with depleted feed intake (P = 0.005). The veterinarians of 10 (71%) farms failed to gain access to essential veterinary medications, hampering the treatment of sick animals. Due to feed shortage and drug unavailability, daily milk production reduced by two litters per cow in the herd of five (35%) farms. The reduced feed intake was significantly associated with the decrease in milk production (P = 0.003), while numerous downstream milk-processing facilities were out of service during the pandemic, significantly reducing the profit of six (43%) dairy farms. Finally, our study showed that the dairy farming industry and animal welfare were critically affected by three aspects: feed shortage, inaccessibility to essential veterinary drugs, and a reduced consumer demand for dairy products.

The world is engaged in containing the COVID Pandemic and controlling further spread and deaths. The global spread of the virus has overwhelmed health systems, and caused widespread social and economic disruption. Some nations have done a better job than rest of the world. The global spread of the virus has overwhelmed health systems, and caused widespread social and economic disruption. There is a strong case that COVID-19 could be with us in one way or another until a vaccine comes on the market or herd immunity is achieved. A long crisis, could stretch the international order to its breaking point. The virus has succeeded in confining almost all human beings in their homes. Balancing act between public health crisis and complex societal implications is an inescapable necessity. The pandemic will alter the world forever. An economic slowdown, severe recession, plummeting revenue, increased expenditure, and mental health issues could be the emerging challenges. There will be increased confidence in technology and nations will invest more in public health. We are passing through fragile and critical times in history. People around the world can prevail in response to this extraordinary challenge. Investing in public health, preparedness, and relying on science will bring a better future. Think of one world, one humanity to shape and secure our future.

The COVID -19 has affected educational systems worldwide, and it leads to the widespread closures of schools and universities.…”

A critical element in tackling the COVID-19 crisis is personal behavioral change. However, there is a paucity of evidence that shows peoples ‘on awareness towards COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, this study aimed to assess the awareness level towards COVID-19 in Sheka, South nation nationalities, and peoples of the region (SNNPR), Southwestern Ethiopia.Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was employed 10th to 21th of April 2020. A total of 419, study participants included in this study. Both univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses used to identify significant factors of awareness level. Variables with p-value<0.05 were considered significant influences of the awareness.Results: Of all respondents in the study, nearly half(49.4 %) of participants had an awareness of COVID-19.Sex, education level, religion, symptom, and knowing prevention methods were factors significantly associated with an understanding of COVID-19. Respondents who know all prevention methods (AOR: 8.1, 95%CI: 1.3-51.9) are more likely to aware of COVID-19 than its counterpart.Conclusion: In this study, a low awareness level towards COVID-19 observed, and programs to improve awareness towards COVID-19 are essential to prevent and control the pandemic.
