 REPORT

By Vaibhav Gupta
The spread of COVID-19 in India began with the first case being
reported in Kerala on January 30, 2020. In a year’s time, more
than twenty-eight million people were tested positive for COVID.
Around five million people – the highest recorded number of
diagnosed cases – were from Maharashtra; the next in line was
Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu with more than two million cases
each, followed by Andhra Pradesh with over one million cases.
Owing to the widespread increase in the number of deaths, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide lockdown until
further notice. All schools, colleges and offices were closed.
Schools, colleges, community halls and convention centers were
turned into isolation wards as hospitals were overflowing with
patients. Healthcare professionals, along with many volunteers,
worked day and night to treat patients and reduce the number of
deaths.
After almost a year, vaccinations such as Covishield and Covaxin
were launched in India. These vaccines were first administered to
people above the age of sixty, followed by people from the age of
forty to sixty, above eighteen and then younger kids. Vaccinations
were given in two doses with an interval of one and a half to two
months in between. With the government making vaccinations
mandatory for travel and other purposes, almost all people had
taken the vaccinations. A third dose of the vaccine (booster dose)
also has been launched. The government has taken efforts to set
up multiple vaccination booths in government schools and hospitals.
With continuous efforts from the government, medical and police
officials, and cooperation from the citizens, India has successfully
seen a decrease in the number of cases and deaths, and an
increase in the number of recoveries.

A virtual survey was administered by me to understand the

effects of coconut 19 on families belonging to different strata of
the society in my city Ghaziabad. The data work was collected via
online survey between 15th October to 15 November 2022. Some
interviews were also carried out online or by telephone. A few
interviews took place in person in concordance with social
distancing rules. The interview frame was very simple. The
families were asked what had changed in their lives compared to
the situation before lockdown, what had improved or got worse.

In this respect I have endeavored to provide valuable insight into

the cumulative effects of the pandemic as it progressed on family
life in my city.

The families who lived in the city were affected in many ways such
as mentally and emotionally. For many, this change took place
positively while for others the case was not the same. Many
families made their best out of the pandemic by spending time
with their partners, parents, and children which are not possible
before. While others who found parenting and spending time with
their partners a difficult task tended to become more stressed.
This resulted in high-pressure dealing with the children as their
needs were left uncompleted resulting in them to mishave to vent
out their frustration.

As per the survey results, it was observed that psychological

distress like depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic
distress cause increased rapidly through and after the pandemic.
One of the main reasons for this was the disturbance in the daily
routines and restrictions on the people to only stay at home. One
of the major effects of the pandemic on families was the sudden
increase in the average screen time of a person especially children
due to the introduction of the online mode of education due to
which the daily routine of the children was encircled around the
digital devices which not only affected their health but also
resulted in learning losses.

Many families were financially also very much affected. As per

the survey, the average household income has been dramatically
affected due to the pandemic. Low-income families suffered the
most as they found it hard to pay rent, pay for groceries, and
daily necessities, and to get the basic healthcare facilities
needed. They found it difficult to provide devices to the children
of the family due to which they suffered major educational losses
also. Many families needed to cut down on their expenses as some
members of the family lost their jobs or suffered income
reduction due to the pandemic. The people in the retail business
suffered the most due to the closure of shops and reduced sales.
Over 82% of small businesses experienced negative impacts and
70% nearly got listed a year.

This all indicates that the pandemic affected the lives of families
both negatively and positively in every aspect. To some pandemic
proved to be a time to bond and spend time with their loved ones
while others struggled mentally and financially and unfortunately
lost some of their loved ones. Some people suffered through
mental problems, and difficulties with adapting to the new norms
formed while others adapted to the changing time slowly and
accepting the reality and overcoming the daily difficulties they
were facing.
By Ritesh kumar Gupta
While plague, cholera, and flu were pandemics of the past, the
current COVID-19 pandemic has put the whole world in a fix.
With the first case of COVID-19 reported in Wuhan, Hubei
Province, China in December 2019, life on Earth had changed
forever. Since then, everybody was locked inside, asked to cover
their noses and mouths, wash their hands, keep themselves
clean, use sanitizers every time they step out and step back into
their houses, eat protein-rich and hygienic food, inhale steam,
drink hot water and so on. For many, everything changed with
the outbreak of the pandemic. A huge number of people lost
their loved ones, some their jobs, and some were even disturbed
mentally rather than just physically. Life simply switched to a
new normal.
The commonly found symptoms were fatigue, severe headaches,
common cold, breathing difficulties, reduced oxygen levels, loss
of appetite, taste,e, and smell, and so on. The government and
the medical community continuously asked people to be on their
guard, stay indoors and report to the nearest hospitals in case
they identify any of the above-stated symptoms in themselves or
the people around them
As of December 2021, around 1 million new cases and around
7500 deaths were reported and the daily moving average of
cases rose to 390 in the first week of December. However, with
the development of vaccinations by scientists and doctors, the
number of cases as well as the number of deaths has been
reduced. Still, people have been asked to take precautions even
though vaccinations have been administered to most people
around the world.
A virtual survey was administered by me to understand the

family life in my city.
The COVID-19 pandemic has uniquely affected children and
families by disrupting routines, changing relationships and roles,
and altering usual child care, school and recreational activities.
Understanding the way families experience these changes from
parents’ perspectives may help to guide research on the effects
of COVID-19 among children.
Children and adolescents with chronic psychiatric and/or
neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism-spectrum
disorders, psychotic disorders, intellectual disability, especially
those who had been receiving a significant proportion of their
mental healthcare and services in-person during pre pandemic
times, may be affected . The mental health of children and
adolescents hospitalized to inpatient facilities where parents’
visitations are restricted because of physical distancing
measures, may be affected

GENERAL PROBLEMS IN FAMILIES FACING

the pressure to juggle Multiple Holes was Stressful and
they were unable to devote time to parenting, Mou
stressed parents found it more difficult to understand
their child's needs and to respond sensitively. Thus,

high presence of psychological distress such as depression,
stress, irritability, and post-traumatic stress symptoms
associated with quarantine.

The closure of schools further multiplied problems for

parents who were left alone to deal with their Children's
education and learning. The covid-19 pandemic has made
parents the de facto home school, teachers, and tuition
teachers, unfortunately, found it difficult to keep their
children on track and help them with their assignments.

computers) among families with school-going
children. As the pandemic continued the burden of
household and professional work continued to
increase, and parents and children were neglecting
their normal daily routines. As a result, children
followed the same haphazard habits and routines.
It has become especially difficult for parents to
maintain a routine for their children, finding time for
meals, studying, and sleeping.
In The current situation, parents were unable to
restore structure and as a result, children lost interest
in everything and became aggressive.
Low-income group families found it difficult to provide

classes. Many times children failed to attend online
