Effect of Covid-19 in South Africa:

Covid 19 has affected economy of many countries and South Africa is one of them. Due to Covid 19 Africa has suffered from a huge economic loss this can be explain by following factors-

1. The trading activities with china, European Union, USA has lower down due to lockdown imposed in these countries and South Africa which effected the movement of goods and service across the countries.

2. Investment of many countries in South Africa has also declined due to Covid 19.

Approaches Used for Encountering Covid-19:

South Africa’s national Covid-19 response has comprised eight overlapping stages.

Stage 1 was focused on preparing for Covid-19, including establishing testing capacity.

Stage 2 started when there were 51 cases, 10 days after the first South African patient was diagnosed. The government declared a national state of disaster, banning international travel, closing schools, restricting gatherings, and promoting social distancing and hand hygiene. A high-level advisory committee with 51 clinicians, virologists, epidemiologists, mathematical modelers, public health practitioners, and other experts is providing strategic advice to the minister of health and establishing evidence-based policy guidance.

Stage 3 consisted of the national lockdown, which is now being eased slowly. The lockdown has caused substantial economic hardship, especially among poor and vulnerable people. The contraction of the economy could have important long-term consequences. Restrictions on movement and the risk of contracting Covid-19 in health care facilities has brought major reductions in the use of health services, thereby compromising continuity of care for people with HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and chronic noncommunicable diseases.

During Stage 4 which was initiated on day 33, the government has deployed more than 28,000 community health workers to the highest-risk communities to undertake active house-to-house case finding. South Africa’s community contact-tracing teams, established for TB control, have been used for Covid-19 contact tracing and monitoring of compliance with quarantine. With the highest HIV burden in the world, the country has a network of providers, including tens of thousands of trained community health workers experienced in conducting door-to-door visits in socially vulnerable communities. This community-based response has been used to screen 11,114,600 people (almost 20% of the population) for Covid-19. A mobile-phone application is used to administer a symptom checklist, and data for each household are uploaded, along with mobile-phone location coordinates, to a central database to map screening coverage. People with Covid-19 symptoms are referred to mobile testing stations or nearby health facilities.

Stage 5 involves identification of hot spots and implementation of prevention measures in areas with localized outbreaks.

Stage 6 is focused on providing medical care, including constructing field hospitals — some in convention centers.

Stage 7 involves preparing for deaths, burials, and the mental health challenges associated with bereavement.

Stage 8 focuses on staying vigilant by engaging in case-finding activities and monitoring population immunity levels using sero surveys in preparation for subsequent epidemic waves.

Key Lessons by Covid-19:

The first lesson we can learn that every men is equal beside difference culture, religion, customs, poor and rich people because virous was effecting every man without discrimination people second lesson life is temporary one day we will gone that's way we should act as a kind and great person specially our relatives and poor people furthermore as much as possible for ourselves we should help of the people by great intentions mostly when people have in problems beside saying to help they don't say because they feel inferior complex & fears moreover we have to prepare of our self for every situation such as sad, dark days and specially disasters conditions in hot weather mostly people don't take good decisions. We shouldn't take dangerous steps when we have mental health issues as we were seeing in the environment in lockdown Many people were doing suicides because they have tired of spending more ours in the houses and also unemployment besides taking bad steps as we had so much time we could invest or devoted for improving our skills and spend more hours with our family members because usually lack of time we can't spend much time with our family furthermore lastly It taught us to love, listen, care, respect and help but lastly most vital lesson that we learnt that don't have strong health infrastructure and technological capital disasters situations could destroy complete economy as well as life’s of people but for coming good infrastructure every nation need improvement in economic development for providing all facilities of the people and economic growth therefore developing nations need more and more reforms in the countries.

Recommendation:

If a country develops its economy so they can make their life’s better. Because in this year many countries face great loss. So, the best way is to develop a country is to grow their GDP rate. This will reduce of its unemployment rate. A country government should do trade with the other countries by manufacturing goods in factories so in this they need employees to do work and in this way unemployment will reduced. In America the unemployment rate is approximately natural rate of 5 % because the government provide opportunities of its people in this way a country can develop it’s GDP and standard of living better furthermore Corona Virus was greatly affecting education of all over the world. But some countries did not compromise their education. They give opportunities of their people for getting by online classes by implementing the slogan stay home stay safe moreover they should use technologies for better education in this situation therefore globalization helped a lot in these days. No matter what is the situation those who know about the value of education, they find the way to get education because it's important to grow and live a better life. So, government should follow these things so they can make their country better in any situation.
