EFFORT 4 (LOCAL IMPACT MEALS For City Vehari)

The COVID-19 outbreak has generated both demand and supply shocks reverberating across the global economy. Among major economies outside of China, the OECD forecasts the largest downward growth revisions in countries deeply interconnected to China, especially Pakistan. In Pakistan nearly 25% of the people are living below the line of poverty, and their majority lives in the smaller cities of Pakistan like Vehari, where 50% people earn their livelihood through daily wages are major effected, as shops are closed, on going work at different constructions sites are closed, cooked meal shops, restaurants etc, everthing is closed, which is making nearly impossible for the daily wager to earn his bread for his family and survive in this major lockdown due to the outbreak.
We need to stand with all those in need during these difficult times and provide them food for at least next 10-15 days, to make sure that their families should not be atleast sleeping while hungry during this major Lockdown due to Corona. As a rough estimate we need at least 1000 USD for feeding 10-15 families for the next 15 days in this outbreak.

Our intentions and way of donation will be very same to this donation organization.

Maintaining Childhood Immunizations During COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is changing rapidly and continues to affect communities across the United States differently. Some of the strategies used to slow the spread of disease in communities include postponing or cancelling non-urgent elective procedures and using telemedicine instead of face-to-face encounters for routine medical visits.

Ensuring the delivery of newborn and well-child care, including childhood immunization, requires different strategies. Healthcare providers in communities affected by COVID-19 are using strategies to separate well visits from sick visitsexternal icon. Examples include:

Scheduling well visits in the morning and sick visits in the afternoon
Separating patients spatially, such as by placing patients with sick visits in different areas of the clinic or another location from patients with well visits.
Collaborating with providers in the community to identify separate locations for holding well visits for children.

Because of personal, practice, or community circumstances related to COVID-19, some providers may not be able to provide well child visits, including provision of immunizations, for all patients in their practice. If a practice can provide only limited well child visits, healthcare providers are encouraged to prioritize newborn care and vaccination of infants and young children (through 24 months of age) when possible. CDC is monitoring the situation and will continue to provide guidance.

Can a face mask protect me from coronavirus? Covid-19 myths busted

Claim: ‘Face masks don’t work’

Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick – viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).

If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So masks are crucial for the health and social care workers looking after patients and are
