Pandemic – Covid 19
The Covid-19 pandemic has completely changed our lives. During the pandemic, governments took several precautionary measures to stop the spread of the infection of the novel coronavirus. Colleges, universities, schools, and offices were closed with no certainty. Nobody knew when they would be open.
There are several guidelines and rules issued by the government. Most of the people worked online.!
Professions like content writing, web development, data entry management, social media management, etc., were able to work online. But the people who had businesses like restaurants, small eateries, transport, manufacturing, retail, etc., lost employment and faced struggle to run their houses. Unemployment in India was at a 45-year high during the pandemic. The industrial output in the country’s 8main sectors fell tremendously.. In short, the Indian economy was crippled.
The people who were struck by the virus were dying. There was panic and scare everywhere. There was no place in the hospitals. The hospital supplies like medicines, machinery, oxygen cylinders, etc., were over.
Under such scenarios, some corporate teams and community helpers came forward to help.
