(Coronavirus) has affected day to day life and is slowing down the global economy. This
pandemic has affected thousands of peoples, who are either sick or are being killed due to
the spread of this disease. The most common symptoms of this viral infection are fever,
cold, cough, bone pain and breathing problems, and ultimately leading to pneumonia.

strict quarantine to control the spread of the havoc of this highly communicable disease.

control the spread of the virus because it very rapidly spreads from person to person.

The Asia Pacific Region has comparatively low COVID-19 figures today, partly because

entering a “new phase” of the outbreak, governments and individuals need to take further
actions to mitigate risk and minimize transmission while maintaining social and
economic activities. While several countries have managed to contain outbreaks early on,
many are now tackling new surges. For some, these new clusters have been larger and
In recent months, young and healthy people in their 20s, 30s and 40s have been driving
transmission in the region—young adults who are socially and economically active,
mobile and returning to work and school. Many are often asymptomatic or present only
mild symptoms if infected and therefore, may unknowingly spread the virus to co-
workers, family members, fellow students and others. These transmissions remain
challenging for countries to detect, despite improved surveillance, expanded testing and
In Australia and the Philippines, for example, the percentage of reported cases of people
under 45 years was at or below 50% prior to 01 June. The same age group came to
represent more than 60% of reported cases since 01 June. These trends pose worrying
risks, particularly to vulnerable and disadvantaged groups: older people, people with
chronic conditions and/or disabilities, people living in populous urban areas or under-

served rural areas and others who are marginalized and have limited access to
information and services. If not immediately tracked and traced, infections among some
of these populations can result in more severe and fatal outcomes. In our region, we've
seen multiple residential care facilities experience outbreaks in Hong Kong [5], as well as
in Australia [6], where 580 out of 788 deaths (as of 11 September) were associated with
outbreaks in long-term care facilities. In many countries, more than 40% of COVID-19
related deaths have been linked to long-term care facilities, with figures being as high as
transmission. Countries of the Western Pacific have adopted new behaviors to prevent
part of daily life. Now the challenge is to make these new behaviors part of our everyday
habits. One key lesson learned from this pandemic is that clear, caring, inclusive and
new normal”. Embedding these practices as part of our “new normal” can be a stepping
stone to a “new future”, with benefits for other health issues, far beyond the response to
COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced uncertainty into major aspects of national and
global society, including for schools. For example, there is uncertainty about how school
closures last spring impacted student achievement, as well as how the rapid conversion of
most instruction to an online platform this academic year will continue to affect
achievement. Without data on how the virus impacts student learning, making informed
decisions about whether and when to return to in-person instruction remains difficult.
Even now, education leaders must grapple with seemingly impossible choices that
balance health risks associated with in-person learning against the educational needs of
children, which may be better served when kids are in their physical schools.
Amidst all this uncertainty, there is growing consensus that school closures in spring
2020 likely had negative effects on student learning. For example, in an earlier post for
this blog, we presented our research forecasting the possible impact of school closures on
achievement. Based on historical learning trends and prior research on how out-of-
school-time affects learning, we estimated that students would potentially begin fall 2020
with roughly 70% of the learning gains in reading relative to a typical school year. In
mathematics, students were predicted to show even smaller learning gains from the

previous year, returning with less than 50% of typical gains. While these and other
similar forecasts presented a grim portrait of the challenges facing students and educators
this fall, they were nonetheless projections. The question remained: What would learning
