Covid-19 has brought many changes in our lives and
what are these? First of all, changes in our daily living such as the freedom to go out without wearing mask, socializing with classmates and friends, and celebrating different gatherings. To the people and to the students that are here with us I am sure that you have your own experiences of the impact of covid-19 in your lives. It’s not just in our health but think twice, because it has affected our economy, religion, and politics. The pandemic has shown how vulnerabilities in health systems can have profound implications for health. Covid-19 has put some health system under immense pressure and stretched others beyond their capacity. Community quarantines alongside transport and border restrictions have universally impacted health service access and delivery effecting patients requiring specialist care the most. The covid-19 pandemic will have a long- term impact on healthcare systems that should be addressed by political and healthcare authorities as soon as
possible. The economic social disruption caused by the
pandemic is devastating, tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty. Industries such as travel and hospitality, felt the pandemic’s impact most directly. Shops and restaurants closed their doors altogether or opened with low seating capacity and low demand to dine in. Nonessential travel evaporated, causing massive lost revenue for not only airlines and cruise ships operators but also smaller businesses that rely on tourism dollars. Covid-19 has also affected religion in various ways, including the cancellation of the worship services of various faiths and closure of Sunday schools, causing people to stay at home and listen to their pastor’s preaching via Facebook live. Political impact of covid-19 both international and domestic, by effecting the governing and political systems of multiple countries, causing suspensions of legislative activities, isolation on deaths or multiple politicians and rescheduling of elections due to fears of spreading the virus. Many changes happen because of the impact of covid-19, but we must remember to lend a helping hand and above all always trust the most powerful, the creator of the world, the author and finisher of our faith, the living Lord Jesus Christ.
