2020; The “INFECTED” Year That Halted Almost Everything
Coronavirus (Covid-19) Origin And How It Has Changed The World Today.
Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
Everything was running well during the month of December when a previously unidentified virus emerged from Wuhan, China and resulted in a very alarming outbreak around China while spreading out internationally to other countries in the various continents. In February 2020, the World Health Organization officially named it Coronavirus (COVID-19). Various sources indicate that the virus possibly leaked from a lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) through a contaminated lab animal, a technological non-achievement or an unexpectedly infected individual which up to date is an intact natural virus strain which has seen a lot of people not surviving it. Early in the year 2020 after the virus hit various countries and cities greatly, the world came to a lock-down with schools closing, a lot of jobs coming to a halt and international travel was immediately prohibited with intense regulations.

Usually the busy streets in the various cities, were all quiet and empty as people stayed back at home while also observing curfew hours. The most important events that needed meetings like the United Nations annual meeting looked very different from the others because only a fraction of delegates were allowed into the assembly while maintaining social distance as the world leaders gave their speeches virtually.

Same to schools also, classes had to be attended virtually with their devices which until now is being done in order to avoid big gatherings in the various learning institutions in order to curb the spread of COVID-19.
