As the corona virus pandemic continue to spread all over the world, countries have started to proffer solutions on how to curb the deadly disease in their countries.
With more than hundred thousand lives lost all over the world due to this pandemic, no one wants to lose anymore live. Hence measures are put in place to fight this novel pandemic.
In this perspective, the measures put in place in schools in China to ensure their pulpils and students go back to school after a long lockdown are quite understandable.
     
Hands Sanitizing at school's Entrance

In Nigeria, schools are currently shutdown due to spread of the virus among students.
Below are some of the photos of the new classroom arrangement in schools in China.
         
1.  Special individual desks are constructed to enable social distancing in the classroom and to avoid body contact among the students.
          

2. Special face shield for students.
       
3.  Social distancing is properly maintained in the classroom.

Don't you think other countries  should emulate this China Example so as to save school from current deadlock?

         The head of the World Health Organization,Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday that "too many countries are headed in the wrong direction" in the fight against the COVID-19. He indicated that people are getting "mixed messages from leaders" and that, without basic measures being followed, the pandemic is "going to get worse and worse and worse." The Americas are the new epicenter of the virus, with countries like the US currently having record cases, and India and South Africa are also surging. The WHO's emergency response head said some places in the Americas may need local lockdowns to "suppress transmission in specific areas where transmission is  getting out of control." He indicated that many nations are going in the "wrong direction" in the fight against the coronavirus, warning the pandemic could keep spreading if countries don't take steps to reverse the trend.  "Let me be blunt, too many countries ...

By
Image
      Could   there be a link between poverty, crowded accommodation, and Africa's bafflingly low infection and death rates from the pandemic? Experts try to unravel the mystery.  As the number of infections dips sharply in South Africa, and stays relatively low across much of the continent, experts are reaching towards a startling hypothesis.

The impossibility of social distancing in communities, where large families often share a single room. For months health experts have been warning that living conditions in poor, urban communities across Africa are likely to contribute to a rapid spread of coronavirus. "Population density is such a key factor. If you don't have the ability to social distance, the virus spreads," said Professor Salim Abdool Karim, the head of South Africa's ministerial advis...

  As the possibility of a widely available COVID-19 vaccine steadily draws nearer, initial limitations in supply have left experts worldwide asking: Who should get the vaccine first? The World Health Organization and its appointed Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, or SAGE, have announced a worldwide vaccine distribution plan — it pushes back on so-called vaccine nationalism, the idea that each country should prioritize its own citizens. Instead, the WHO adopts a global approach, prioritizing vaccination among the most vulnerable people everywhere. “The first priority must be to vaccinate some people in all the countries, rather than all the people in some countries,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated in Geneva on Friday. “Vaccine nationalism will prolong the pandemic, not shorten it.” The WHO’s proposed vaccine distribution framework would ensure all countries access to the novel coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available.
