My community situation during corona virus disease

 

When Coronavirus (COVID-19) came in, in the early of March 2020. Every situation has been changed a lot such as all schools, companies, hotels, restaurants…etc, have closed.

There are four main points that happen in my community which I am going to detail in each points.

First of all, the daily living of people. All families have to be far from each other (Social distancing) because preventing the spreading the virus. Moreover, they have to wear mask in everywhere or every places like in the market or in on the way. Farther more, washing hands regularly. However, some people in my community don’t really follow the rules from the government.

Second, people health-care. As my family is a seller. I, myself recognize that, People seem to be healthier than before. The reason is they have known more how to be hygiene and protect themselves from the diseases.

Third, the education. All students are not allowing to go to school. They all have to stay home and focus on their study by their own through online classes. In

My​ Community​​ fact, having different families’ ability, most of the students in rural area who don’t have smart phone would lose the opportunity to study by online. So they have to

work harder alone. In other hand, some generosity teachers, they are kind so they spend their time to go to students’ houses.

Last but not least, career. People jobs in nowadays has to be flexible depend on the real situation. Some people change their jobs to be an online-seller, they sell the all kind products. And other work as farmers or construction worker.

Honestly, my uncle; he changed his job as a Tuk Tuk driver to be a construction worker because he has to be high responsibility to feed his big family. If he doesn’t change his job she has no work. If he has no work so he has no money and if he has no money, his family will be died of having no food to eat.

In conclusion, As I have mentioned Corona Virus disease makes people all around the world not only, my family or community or country in a very tough situation. I hope as soon as possible, this situation would be going better.
