The whole world is fighting against the health hazards that have been caused by the pandemic of COVID-19. It is necessary to control the spread of this virus to improve the situation and reduce its impact on all the sectors of the economy (Familydoctor.org, 2020). This not only has affected the health sector but also, the growth structure of whole economy has fallen down. Within this proposal, the plan for control of infection and prevention of COVID-19 , the target audience that are most widely affected and the impact of various factors will be addressed. The impact of Covid-19 on all the relevant stakeholders, the impact it has laid on the people and on the socio-economic arena will also be discussed. The preparation of the campaign (Staying Safe from COVID- 19), it’s costing in generating awareness and conducting programs across various regions to make them understand about this pandemic, the possible solutions one can undertake on their behalf is mentioned here.
The main objective of the campaign is to provide as much as possible information about COVID-19 to the people and to help them stay safe. It also includes information about setting up isolation wards for the patients suffering from COVID-19 and all the precautions that are to be taken by the healthcare professionals risking their lives every day for their patients. It is also needed to make sure that all the safety protocols are followed in setting up the isolation wards for the safety of healthcare professionals and the patients. The necessary information should be shared with the people who are quarantined at their homes and providing them with the help to stay calm and relaxed in the difficult time. It is very essential to explain people about the importance of social distancing and how to follow social distancing measures to their own and others safety. The target audience within the campaign shall be for all age groups and special attention shall be provided to children below the age of 2 years and old age people above 60 years as they are at the high risk of getting this infection (Clinic, 2020).
The costing of the campaign depends on the size of the campaign, the bigger the campaign is, and the higher will be the cost. The most important aspect for any campaign should be to make people aware about COVID-19 and give them all the necessary information to keep them safe what to do if they get infected with the virus. All the information will be provided to the people through online media platforms like, Facebook, Twitter and emails. The information will also be shared by advertisements in newspapers, journals and online advertisement. It is very important to make people aware about the safety precaution to help them stay safe and reduce the number of daily cases of COVID-19 and reduce the burden of the healthcare workers
The costing of conducting the campaign will be according to the below table-

In the month of Decmber2019, corona virus was identified in the china and since then the spread of this virus has resulted in a global pandemic and has affected almost all the countries around the world. The signs and symptoms of this virus take around 14 days to be visible after the exposure to this virus (Bronze, 2020).
The common symptoms of this virus are fever, coughing and tiredness. The early symptoms include loss of smell and taste. Other symptoms of this virus include difficulty in breathing, sore throat, chest pain, muscle and headache and runny nose (AdnanShereen, Khan, Kazmi, Bashir, & Siddique, 2020). The seriousness of the symptoms depends on person to person, the older people are at a great risk of serious symptoms and it may result in possible death of a person due to lack of good immune system. If a person has other illness and diseases, this virus can worsen the health of that individual and may cause very serious problems. The target audiences that may be infected by this virus are around 20% of the world population and major threat is because of health problems related to obesity and heart diseases (Aljazeera, 2020). In order to safeguard oneself, there is a need to start wearing masks and keep the hands clean on a timely basis with the help of alcohol based sanitizers.
Strict adherence to the procedures of Infection Prevention Control (IPC) in all health facilities shall be followed. The committees within the IPC should set up with a mandate in order to ensure that all healthcare workers are fully aware of infection prevention and its control procedures. The adequate plans should be in place regarding the PPE kits and other necessary administrative equipments (Ather, Patel, Ruparel, Diogenes, & Hargreaves, 2020). The goal of an isolation facility is to monitor the airflow in the room such that the amount of infectious particles is reduced to a level that ensures that there are unlikely the chances that any other person within the healthcare facility gets affected by it. In the wards there should be signs on the door stating that the room is an isolation area. All unnecessary furniture should be removed and the rest if any should be timely and properly cleaned and does not contain dirt or moisture inside or around it. COVID-19 patients should be placed in a well-ventilated ward and a distance of at least one meter should be maintained between two adjacent beds. In addition, all such patients must wear triple layer surgical masks at all times. In the same way, suspected patients may be held in a different ward with identical conditions (Baldi, et al., 2020).
Staffs who do not wear personal protective equipment (PPE) should avoid the contact with patients or staff wearing PPE who have been caring for patients. Grouping of cases according to severity would allow efficient workflow and efficient use of equipment (Bronze, 2020). It will also make the use of staff in a more effective manner. If the insolation center is not in an established health facility, it should be assured that the site has adequate drainage, does not have a high-water table, is at least 30 meters away from any river or body of water to prevent flooding, ensuring that the soil is flat and levelled. In a health facility, the location should be as close as possible to the main entrance to centralize all exits, ensure good access for patients and staff with guaranteed protection, and the place which can be segregated from general public should be selected for COVID wards. Patient’s room, including separate waiting rooms, should have access to clean drinking water, electricity, and toilet and secure waste disposal facilities (Adhikari, et al., 2020). It should be situated next to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for quick transfer of patients who become critically ill and should have access to the clinic, pharmacy, laundry and morgue if in a health facility (CDC, 2020).
Health-care systems could run at more than full capacity for several months. However, unlike ventilators or wards, health-care staff cannot be arranged so quickly or run at full capacity for lengthy periods of time. The wellbeing and safety of workers and staff members of the hospitals must be ensured (Resmed, 2020). The provision for adequate PPEs is just the foremost step in the treatment of COVID cases; consideration must be given to other practical steps, including the cancellation of non-essential activities to allocate resources; provision of food, rest and family support and psychological support (Clinic, 2020).
As healthcare professionals work closely with COVID-19 patients on a daily basis, it is critical to take care of their daily hygiene. The arrangements relating to running water and soap at each nursing station and ward, hand sanitizer stands, clearly demarcated wearing and removing areas are a must. Apart from these simple safety precautions, the use of safe insulin procedures, auto-disable syringes and safe waste management will go a long way towards ensuring the safety of staff. Institutional anti-infection control procedures must also be implemented (Dascomb, 2020). The use of advanced tools during sample collection and treatment of confirmed cases of COVID-19 will minimize the likelihood of health workers being contaminated and also help in reduction of further transmission. Healthcare workers are currently the most valuable resource in the world right now because of this COVID-19 pandemic (Ouassou, et al., 2020).
The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious health crisis as it has affected communities and economies to the core. Although the effects of the pandemic are different from country to country, global poverty, unemployment and inequality will most certainly increase. The impact of COVID-19 shall be assessed keeping in mind the aspect the vulnerable effect on population and economies, thus appropriate responses from government and partners shall be undertaken to ensure that no one is left behind (Familydoctor.org, 2020). Without immediate socio-economic responses, the distress on the economies around the globe will escalate, putting lives and livelihoods at risk for many more years to come. There is a need for immediate planning approaches towards the crisis that should be pursued in regard to a better view of the future. Long-term growth trajectories will be influenced by the decisions taken by the government and communities, so proper planning, policy, procedures should be enabled (Adhikari, et al., 2020).
Though, there is no vaccine yet available to prevent or cure COVID-19. But there are things one can do to help slow reduce the progression. These steps provide a great deal of ideas for everyone, specifically in places where there are a lot of COVID-19 cases. Practicing social distancing is one of the foremost tasks and avoiding contact with the sick people is very important (Healthline, 2020). Avoiding gathering of people is very important part of social distancing and the best possible approach to avoid getting the infection is to stay isolated and if you go out maintain at least a distance of 6 feet from another person. If anyone is going out, they should make sure to wear a mask and if any person is infected, the mask will help in not spreading it to other people and if one is not infected and do not have any symptoms, the mask will help them to stay safe. Everyone should wash their hands regularly with soap and water as this is particularly important, when one goes out in public the chances of getting infection increase as it is very normal that one touches door handles, railings and other surfaces where virus can sustain itself for a long time (CDC, 2020).
Though, the risk of getting contaminated by touching objects like this is not well known, but probably not very high (Kampf, Todt, Pfaender, & Steinmann, 2020). So, it's a good idea to wash your hands frequently for at least for at least 20 seconds, properly by rubbing between your fingers, cleaning wrists, fingernails and then dry them with a paper towel that can be thrown away. People can also use sanitizers based on 60% alcohol content within them in place of soap to clean their hands (Larsen, Martin, Martin, Kuhn, & Hicks, 2020). Unnecessary travel should be avoided and people should ensure to stay away from crowded places like airports, railway stations, bus stations, etc. as this increases the chances of getting affected by the virus and also the chances of spreading it to other people (Larsen, Martin, Martin, Kuhn, & Hicks, 2020).
Social distancing is not just about avoiding huge crowds. The best thing to do is to stop all meetings with people and stay as much as one can stay at home, work from home should be promoted, and online orders should be made regarding daily necessities (Stewart, Connelly, & Robinson, 2020).
The occasions of marriage, ceremonies should be avoided. Many people find it convenient to keep in contact with friends and family in other ways, such as on the phone or online. For freshening up and staying fit, exercises, indoor walks, and yoga should be done. (Maier, Bickerton, Britton, & Perlman, 2015). The virus can spread anywhere whether it is indoors or outdoors, but the chances of getting it increases when one comes into contact with other people. The most important step one can take on their behalf, is to remain at home as much as one can, use sanitizers and masks to cover nose, mouth and do not put hands on ears or eyes, where the chances of getting the infection increases. The steps taken at an individual level could help the society in a whole manner (Adhikari, et al., 2020).
There are certain things that one should do if someone is suffering from COVID-19, these will help to protect oneself and other from getting the infection. The sick patient should be kept away from all the normal people in a separate room, he/she should use different washroom. They are even required to eat in their own room (MedicalNewsToday, 2020). The steps should be taken to remain as much away from the person who has COVID as much one can, everyone in the case of home quarantine cases shall wear masks. It is also a good idea to wear disposable gloves while handling the sick person’s laundry, dishes, utensils or garbage. When the laundry of sick person is being done, it should be kept separate from the clothes, bedding of normal people and same in the case of utensils. The objects that are being touched on a daily basis should be cleaned and sanitized daily; surfaces should be cleaned using disinfectants (CDC, 2020).
If you think you've been in close touch with someone with COVID-19, but you don't have any symptoms, you should have at least 14 days of self-quarantine or get admitted in an isolation ward for safety reasons and staying at least 6 feet away from other people (Roberts, 2020). Self-quarantine is slightly different from self-isolation, which is when an infected person remains in a completely separate room (Stewart, Connelly, & Robinson, 2020).
It's usual to be nervous or worried about COVID-19. It's also fine to feel anxious or lonely when one cannot do your regular activities or see friends and relatives. One can take care of himself/ herself by taking a break from the news, doing daily exercises and eating nutritious food, seeking things that one likes to do, keeping in contact with your friends and family (Nejm, 2020). It should be kept in mind that most people does not get seriously ill with COVID-19, as it helps to be prepared, and it is important to do what is necessary to reduce the risk and help slow the spread of the virus and the important thing is to stay calm not panic.
In order to keep a check on the performance of the campaign it is essential that effective measures for proficiency measurements, calculation of success rates of patients recovering as per the basis of discharge criteria should be taken. Whether there have been more deaths or not, among all age groups who are more prone and whether appropriate facilities have been provided. The assessment relating to availability of all medical equipments and requirement needs shall also be focused (Aljazeera, 2020).
The corona virus disease continues to spread across the world following a trajectory that is difficult to predict that how long it is going to affect our very own world. The health, humanitarian and socio-economic policies adopted by countries will determine the speed and strength of the recovery. The proper planning, policy and procedural methodologies should be enabled in this regard so that all the countries around the world can combat this situation. A coordinated global effort is required to support countries that currently do not have sufficient fiscal space to finance social policy, in particular universal social protection systems so that all the nations can emerge from this dreadful situation.
