Basic Information

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.

The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).

How to make your environment safer:

Avoid the 3Cs: spaces that are closed, crowded or involve close contact.

If you need to meet with someone meet people outside. Outdoor gatherings are safer than indoor ones, particularly if indoor spaces are small and without outdoor air coming in.

Wear a mask

What is coronavirus?

COVID-19 is a new disease caused by a coronavirus that has never been seen in

humans before. Scientists are learning more about the virus every day because it is so new. COVID-19 can cause severe illness and even death in people who have it, despite the fact that most people who have it have mild symptoms.

How it’s transmitted?

Researchers currently know that the current coronavirus spreads through

droplets released into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The

droplets typically travel only a few feet and fall to the ground (or onto surfaces)

in a matter of seconds, which is why physical separation is effective in preventing

the spread.

How it affects the human organism?

The majority of people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild

to moderate respiratory illness and will recover without the need for special

treatment. People over the age of 65, as well as those with underlying medical

conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer, are more likely to develop serious illness.

Symptoms

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic is spreading around the world. In Poland, thousands of new infections and cases of COVID-19 are detected daily. With the increase in the number of cases and the duration of clinical observations, the number of symptoms that can be associated with infection with this new type of coronavirus increases. What are the symptoms of coronavirus infection?

- Fever or chills Cough

- Shortness of breath or difficulty    breathing

- Fatigue

- Muscle or body aches

- Headache

- New loss of taste or smell

- Sore throat

- Congestion or runny nose

- Nausea or vomiting

- Diarrhea

How to prevent it

- Often wash your hands using soap water with alcohol-based disinfectant.

- Keep a safe distance from coughing and sneezing people.

- Wear a mask when distance cannot be kept.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth when you are not at home.

- If you feel unwell, stay at home.

- If you have fever, cough or you have difficulty with breathing, call your doctor.

- Cover your nose when you cough or sneeze.

- Meet people outside and avoid crowded places.

Marketing in times of covid

Covid-19 has affected marketing in basically every category. It changed way of buying and advertising. Here are 5 changes of marketing caused by pandemic: We started to buy much more things online, that’s result of restrictions (especially lockdowns),

It turned out that many people started to try new brands (almost 50% of consumers),

People started to pay much more attention to hygiene in stationary shops, During pandemic many people moved out of urban areas to the suburbs and countryside and it forces companies to change marketing localization by a little bit, And finally even after “returning to normality” many people will continue to spend more time in their houses and this phenomenon will maintain reversal urbanization trend.

How to write creatively about Covid-19

Currently it is possible to do exact research about COVID-19 from a variety of sources providing lots of information about the disease. In order to create an interesting piece of writing it is needed to collect as much diverse data as possible. Not only is it significant not to copy the particular information to an article, but also to confirm whether it is trustworthy or not. Write your article in an unusual way and do not forget about encouraging the reader to give that topic a second thought. Apart from using the information acquired, share your point of view as well.

What it is and how does it manifests itself

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by coronavirus. Most people infected with it may experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people are in much greater danger, as their bodies are much weaker and much more prone to diseases.

How to prevent it

To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.

Maintain at least 1 metre distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.

Avoid touching your face.

Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

Stay home if you feel unwell.

Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.

Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.

Marketing in times of covid

COVID-19 has led to an enormous change in the worldwide market. Because of social distancing and quarantine, online services, such as streaming services, games and online shopping have seen an enormous growth in sales. A substantial decrease in sales have been noted in areas such as cars, shoes and clothing and other offline services.

COVID-19 has caused many companies to suffer gigantic losses, however, they could be counteracted with effective marketing and change in strategy. First of all, consumers will be much more likely to buy products from large and reliable companies, like IKEA and Maggi.

While some products will suffer from lowered demand, the demand for other products may skyrocket. This may cause an increase in their value, such as it did with toilet paper in the last quarter of 2020. Customers are more likely to buy products that they need at a higher price, so understanding which products are affected by it can give some corporations a key advantage.Advertising their shops and services using products the public needs the most can bring a massive increase in sales.

Marketing past-COVID

After COVID-19 is cured it is almost certain that a lot of stores will be filled to the brim with customers , for the first month after the disappearance of COVID-19 we can expect big stores like IKEA to be bought out of stock, since a lot of people will be rushing to get the items they weren't able to buy because of the pandemic

How to write creatively about COVID-19

Writing about COVID-19 creatively is the same as writing creatively about anything. You need to obtain your information from multiple sources. This will ensure that you will have plenty of information to choose from, and that you will not copy entire articles. Even if you use outside sources to write your texts, make sure to stay original. Interpret the information you obtain from those sources and write them with your own words, maybe even add a little bit of your personal opinion on the subject.
