If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into tissue. Check local advice where you live and work
2. Defination of Mobilizing:

Protecting Against Covid-19 :
If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some
simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well
ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into tissue. Check
local advice where you live and work.
3. Social policy responses:
Social protection measures such as cash transfer payments, unemployment support,
paid sick leave, and access to healthcare are being expanded in some jurisdictions on a
temporary basis.
Clean your hands before you put your mask on, as well as before and after you take it
off, and after you touch it at any time.
Make sure it covers both your nose, mouth and chin.
When you take off a mask, store it in a clean plastic bag, and every day either wash it if
it’s a fabric mask, or dispose of a medical mask in a trash bin.
4. Summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in severe economic and social impacts
around the world. Young people are particularly vulnerable to the disruptions
the pandemic has caused, and many are now at risk of being left behind in
education, economic opportunities, and health and wellbeing during a crucial
stage of their life development.
Young people are more likely to be unemployed or to be in precarious job
contracts and working arrangements, and thus, lack adequate social
protection. At the same time, young people are responding to the crisis
through public health promotion, volunteering and innovation.
5. Conclusion:
In a little over five months, COVID-19 has morphed from a small outbreak to a
pandemic, which the World Health Organization (WHO) deems a public health
emergency of international concern.
The accompanying socioeconomic crisis is so large in scope that the
Secretary-General of the United Nations has described it as the biggest
challenge the world has faced since World War II.
