Action Plan
This project is all about the challenges and burden of the Coronavirus 2019.
INTRODUCTION
Coronavirus disease is an emerging infectious disease caused by severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The novel coronavirus was first
identified in December 2019 in Wuhan China, then spread globally within weeks
and resulted in an ongoing pandemic.
To the extent of this action plan, there is no systematic review on the preventive
aspects and effectiveness of COVID-19 infection through contact tracing, screening,
quarantine, and isolation. The findings were inconclusive; in some studies, certain
preventive mechanisms were shown to have minimal effects, while in others
different preventive mechanisms have better effect than expected. On the other hand,
some studies have reported that integration of interventions is more effective than
specific interventions.
- Poor quality services give rise to mistrust and suspicion, which deter people
from seeking healthcare when it is needed. Service users are charged a fee for
seeking healthcare to fill the funding gap. This pushes many people into
poverty or again deters people from seeking healthcare when it is needed.
Isolation
- Is self-isolation recommended for those with COVID-19?
Self-isolation at home has been recommended for those diagnosed with
COVID-19 and those who suspect they have been infected. Health agencies
have issued detailed instructions for proper self-isolation. Many
governments have mandated or recommended self-quarantine for entire
populations.

Economic Shutdown:
- The world has changed dramatically in the three months since our last
update of the World Economic Outlook in January. A rare disaster, a
coronavirus pandemic, has resulted in a tragically large number of human
lives being lost. As countries implement necessary quarantines and social
distancing practices to contain the pandemic, the world has been put in a
Great Lockdown. The magnitude and speed of collapse in activity that has
followed is unlike anything experienced in our lifetimes.
