How COVID 19 is monitored in Ontario
There's an app that can alert you if you have come in contact with someone who has later tested positive
Ontario also used contact tracing so they can contact everyone who has come in contact with everyone who's related to a patient who has tested positive
Theres a NNDSS system in which basically each health department tells Ontario how many cases, deaths and recoveries they got so Ontario can update themselves and the public with the numbers
Prevention Strategies
Wearing a mask in all indoor public places
Limiting gatherings to 10 people inside and 25 outside
Keeping a distance of 2 metres (6 feet) from others at all times
Testing
1. The tests get conducted at all of the testing centres that are open across Ontario
2. Those tests then get sent to a lab for testing
3. The lab then contacts everyone and tells them their results and tallies up the total positive cases
Environmental Consequences
Changes in lifestyle
Everyone's schedules got messed up as they were basically locked inside
Exercising for people changed as gyms and recreational centres shut down
It was good for the environment as people stopped going outside
It was good as countries closed their borders so air travel was decreased
Impacts on Conservation Groups
Most groups closed completely or were severely impacted
The wildlife was impacted as well as the groups weren't there to help them
The people who participated were also impacted because they were left with nothing to do
Changes in Land Use
Some countries had to use land to build more hospitals like China did
Some countries had to use land to bury the people that died due to COVID 19
Other countries built hotels as well to make more beds for new patients as hospitals were full
Short term effects on the environment
It had a positive impact because the amount of pollution we produced decreased
People stopped going on planes and cruises got closed
Borders were sealed as well so people are staying at home more which reduced CO2 emissions by half
Long term affects on the environment
Physical distancing will stay in place for a while which means less people will be able to travel at a time
People will start to travel less and cancel some plans as they may be afraid of them contracting the virus
Physical distancing will only let a few people travel by plane and gather at public events which will limit the amount of pollution
Global Consequences
Basically every county is impacted by COVID 19 but the most impacted are USA, India, Brazil, Russia and Columbia
USA with 7,718,090 total cases
People say they weren't prepared but some states have required people to wear masks, testing has increased and recreational buildings have been closed as well
India with 6,754,179 total cases
India went into a Nation-wide lockdown quickly but people couldn't live as they couldn't work and the health care isn't the best but they are doing the most they can with their budget
Brazil with 4,970,953 total cases
Brazil isn't able to go into lockdown because of people that live on a day to day basis so their just waiting for the condition to ease up on its own
Russia with 1,237,504 total cases
Russia has implemented some laws like the arrival of non-essential travel is banned and a state of emergency was issued
Columbia with 869,808 total cases
Columbian borders are sealed and only one person is allowed to be out from every household. People can only leave for essential issues as well
