The Colosseum
The Colosseum is the remains of the Flavian Amphitheater. It is located in the center of
Rome, Italy. The construction process began under the Flavian dynasty under the emperor
Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 under the Emperor Titus. It is the biggest
amphitheater in the world and it is considered to be the greatest work of the Roman architect.
Now, it is the most visited tourist object in Rome with thousands of tourists each year paying a
lot of money to see the interior of the building. However, entrance for citizens of the European
Union (EU) is partially subsidized, while entrance for EU citizens under eighteen or over sixty-
five years of age is free.
The Colosseum was an elliptical construction of a wall surrounding an elliptical arena
where various shows were held as an entertainment for the citizens of Rome. But now what
we can see from the building is the remains of the ruin, most of the wall is no longer intact.
There are 80 entrances that we can use to enter the building, 4 of these entrances, located on
each axis of the ellipse shape of the building, were used for the noble and elite only.
The arena is in the center of the building and it is lower than the seat of the audience.
The Colosseum could hold up to 50.000 spectators which occupy a descending level style of
seats. The first level of the seats, which is the closest to the arena, is used by the Emperor and
high rank officials of Rome. The higher the seat gets the lower the level of the audience
becomes. The arena’s floor that used to be made of wood and covered by sand has broken,
showing the underground structure called hypogeum. It consists of secret passage, rooms, and
animal’s cages where The Gladiator and the beast stayed before the competition.

vaccination of Covid-19 is very important for us.
Covid-19 vaccination can protect us by creating antibodies or the immune system in
the body to fight the virus. With these antibodies, your body will be trained to prevent and
fight Covid-19 infection. Vaccination is not a drug that completely cures Covid-19. However,
according to experts, even if you get Covid-19 after vaccination, the vaccine will prevent
your body from infection and the symptoms of Covid-19, because your body now has a
stronger body defense system.
When you are vaccinated, you protect not only yourself but also your family and the
people around you. This is because not everyone can receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Those
who cannot be vaccinated rely on you who can be vaccinated to reduce the spread of
Covid-19. The more people who are vaccinated, the less likely it is that an infected person
will pass the disease on to other people.
With the advent of vaccines and more people being vaccinated, the infected people
and the transmission rate will certainly decrease. This reduces the burden on health
workers and health facilities. Health workers can dedicate their efforts, funds and
equipment to helping patients with severe symptoms or other diseases and preventing the
buildup of patients in the hospital.
By decreasing the rate of Covid-19 infection and breaking the chain of the Covid-19
pandemic, you can protect future generations from the long suffering of being infected with
this disease. This has been proven from historical records that have taken place. In the past
there were so many diseases caused by deadly viruses, with the presence of vaccines, we
are a generation that lives on from the vaccination struggles of previous generations.
In conclusion, taking Covid-19 vaccination is very important for us. It can protect
ourselves, people around us, and our future generation from the Covid-19 infection.

Thu, February 10, 2022. The Omicron variant coronavirus entered Tonga for the first
10
time in the wake of last month's volcanic eruption, officials confirmed Thursday, as the
number of COVID-19 cases in the kingdom almost doubled to 64.
Health Minister Saia Piukala said 31 new cases had been detected in the previous 24
hours, a record for the island nation which was virus-free until last month's blast. Piukala
said samples sent to Australia February 8th, confirmed the variant of the virus spreading in
Tonga was the highly transmissible Omicron strain.
The source of the coronavirus infection remains unknown, but suspicion has fallen on
ships delivering aid from countries including Australia, China, France, Japan and New
Zealand despite strict quarantine rules on the handling of goods a week ago. Australian
defense chiefs have denied it came from the COVID-hit warship HMAS Adelaide, saying the
vessel did not unload its humanitarian supplies at the wharf in Nuku'alofa, where the virus
was first detected.
The nation of about 100,000 remains in lockdown, with stay-at-home orders
meaning all businesses and schools are closed and only essential services are allowed to
operate.
The restrictions are hampering disaster relief efforts after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga
Ha'apai volcano erupted. The blast generated massive tsunami waves and blanketed the
island nation in toxic ash, claiming . 87 percent of eligible Tongans have received two
vaccine doses, according to UN data. Communications remain a problem in the kingdom
after the eruption cut the undersea cable linking Tonga to the rest of the world. Tonga
Cable Limited said this week that a cable repair ship had found the broken ends of the link
but damage was worse than expected, meaning it was unlikely to be fixed before February
20. In the meantime, backup satellite links are being used but bandwidth is limited and
international communications remain difficult for most Tongans.
