    TITLE: COVID-19 COMMUNITY QUARANTINE

    INTRODUCTION
    What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently
    discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak
    began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is now a pandemic affecting
    many countries globally.

    What is community quarantine? There are two levels of community quarantine. The first
    level is called a general community quarantine. It means that the movement of people is
    largely limited to “accessing basic necessities and work” while uniformed personnel and
    quarantine officers are present at border checkpoints. The second is an “enhanced
    community quarantine,” more akin to a total lockdown with hard borders. In this
    scenario, strict home quarantine for all households will be implemented, transportation
    will be suspended, provision for food and “essential health services” will be regulated,
    and there will be a heightened presence of uniformed personnel to enforce quarantine
    measures.

    BODY
    Here in the Philippines, on March 16, 2020, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte
    declared the entire Luzon area in the Philippines under "enhanced community quarantine"
    (ECQ) which is effectively a total lockdown, restricting the movement of the population
    but with exceptions, in response to the growing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019
    (COVID-19) in the country. Additional lockdown restrictions mandated the temporary
    closure of non-essential shops and businesses.

    Quarantine is often an unpleasant experience for those who undergo it. Separation from
    loved ones, the loss of freedom, uncertainty over disease status, and boredom can, on
    occasion, create dramatic effects. Suicide has been reported, substantial anger generated,
    and lawsuits brought following the imposition of quarantine in previous outbreaks. The
    potential benefits of mandatory mass quarantine need to be weighed carefully against the
    possible psychological costs. Successful use of quarantine as a public health measure
    requires us to reduce, as far as possible, the negative effects associated with it.

    As a student, it also has a huge impact to us because we know that the class is suspended
    because of this coronavirus pandemic. Different problems are coming for example on
    how to survive on lack of foods and water during home quarantine. We have no money to
    buy because we are only a student for now. There is also an online class to do wherein we
    will do all the requirements so that the teachers will finalize our grades because some
    schools declared that we are not going back to school until the end of semester. The
    problem is other student cant do this online class because some students dont have signal
    on their phone or have no data to use. We really need to finish the requirements.
    CONCLUSION
    This community quarantine is so important to us. Dr. Salvana said, a specialist in
    infectious disease and tropical medicine, and the lead member of the technical advisory
    group for the IATF on what quarantine measures include and why they matter, a
    community quarantine with extreme social distancing measures were implemented as
    preemptive measure to help manage the increase in cases in the country. This is largely to
    help the Philippines’ health system cope with treating patients as a sudden surge or
    increase can overwhelm hospitals and health workers.

    So stay safe for everyone and dont get sick from this coronavirus.
