Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease that is readily spread from an infected person to another person. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first known case was recorded in Wuhan, China and it spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic. This article contains my opinion on how we can fight Covid-19 pandemic through practicing safety protocols and availing vaccines.
To begin with, we can help fight Covid-19 by obeying safety protocols. Data showed that observing these protocols lessens the spread of the disease. First, observing social-distancing can reduce the chances of people to catch the virus through sneezing, coughing or even while talking. Secondly, wearing mask in a correct way, covering both our mouth and nose, is vital as it protect us from the spread of the virus. Lastly, practicing proper cough and sneeze etiquette can eliminate possibly droplet containing virus.
Furthermore, covid-19 vaccines are now in our fingertips. I hope that more people can and will avail it cause this will help us avoid deadly symptoms or possibly death from the said virus. I have read many online posts from vaccinated people who contacted the virus, most of them shared that vaccines really help them not to experience severe symptoms. I know that there are people who are afraid to avail vaccines cause there are also people who share about their symptoms after vaccination. I reckon that each of us have different response to the said vaccine and study showed that it is a normal response of our body.
All in all, fighting Covid-19 is not just a fight of the government or any concern citizen however it is a fight for all of us. Each of us have the responsibility to follow protocols and contribute in stopping COVID-19.
