COVID-19 AND ITS EFFECTS
A day came when everything changed
People could no longer live as they used to live
Staying indoors became the order of the day
All due to COVID-19
Students, Employees, Employers told to stay home
Sources of income closed
People could no longer access their businesses, offices
Being found working in large numbers became a crime
All due to COVID-19
Transport closed
People could no longer travel
Moving from place to place, long-distance traveling restricted
Traveling on foot became the order of the day
Because being congested and in public places could let the virus spread
All due to COVID-19
Economy strained
Taxes reduced in every sector in a short time
Because people could no longer work
Earn revenues to pay taxes
Government struggling to revive the struggling economy
Youths became stranded
Because most of them could no longer work
To earn themselves income to be self-sustainable
Became a problem
Almost 75% of youths became stranded and miserable
Because of unfavorable living conditions
All due to COVID-19
Employees living in fear of losing jobs
Because they could no longer work
And businesses not bringing in income
Employers forced to lay off workers
Whether competent or not
All due to COVID-19
People forced to stay home
In order to fight the spread of the Corona Virus
And also to protect lives and those of their families
All due to COVID-19
Families had to be together
Cases of Gender-Based Violence increase in most communities
Because of poverty and intolerance
Not used to staying together all the time
All due to COVID-19
Stigma arises
Discrimination of recovered COVID-19 patients, strangers
Not associating with these people
Because of fear that the virus could get them
All due to COVID-19
All in All
Let’s show LOVE
Let’s not DISCRIMINATE
Let’s follow GUIDELINES
Because together we can fight COVID-19
STAY HOME, STAY SAFE
