The document summarizes the COVID-19 pandemic from its origins in Wuhan, China in late 2020 to its impact and government response in the Philippines. It discusses how the virus spread globally without initial detection. In the Philippines, the government implemented strict quarantines, lockdowns, and restrictions on movement to slow transmission.

Back in 2020, November, coronavirus starts spreading without the
world knowing -but in China, more specifically in Wuhan. COVID-19 is like a communicable disease that poses higher danger to populations. This epidemic effects everyone, everywhere. But this first involved by various groups of people. For somehow in my opinion, Bill Gates stated about some sort of epidemic “The next outbreak? We’re not ready”, last 2015 and made people being curious that he’s connected in planning this situation –and is connected to the people from China. Last March, we just figure that this epidemic is coming our way. Philippines has been more careful and made decisions precisely like: ending temporarily the schools, letting everyone stay at their homes, jobs that are being stopped, and transmissions that are also ceased. The government is proceeding to observe this economic slowdown. Implementing different policies like lockdowns, conducting ECQ (Enhance Community Quarantine), GCQ (General Community Quarantine), MECQ (Modified Enhance Community Quarantine). The strategy of using quarantine pass by adults, because underage- teenagers below 21 are not allowed to wander around especially in cities, shops, etc. This epidemic really brought changes and biggest transformation in our society. One of the biggest points that teaches the world, the people, the government, is changing the world into a new one. It affects everyone by doing worth to live for. Like businesses, most of the people know how to deal with everyone not just by wasting their time but doing their time more productively. Yes, everyone wishes things would return to normal. But as we go through in this situation, it gives us so much lessons to realize, how things are appreciable and are worth for. Furthermore, we should always stay at home if intentions are not that necessary and be safe. Be a COVID-free!
