Q & A on coronaviruses (COVID-19)


WHO is continuously monitoring and responding to this outbreak. This Q&A will be updated as more is known about COVID-19, how it spreads and how it is affecting people worldwide. For more information, check back regularly on WHO’s coronavirus pages. https://www.who.int/covid-19

1.What is coronavirus?

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans.  In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19.

2.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.

3.What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but only have very mild symptoms. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment. Around 1 out of every 5 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart and lung problems, diabetes, or cancer , are at higher risk of developing serious illness. However anyone can catch COVID-19 and become seriously ill. Even people with very mild symptoms of COVID-19 can transmit the virus. People of all ages who experience fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.

4.What shoud i do if i have COVID-19 symptoms and when should i seek medical care?
If you have minor symptoms, such as a slight cough or a mild fever, there is generally no need to seek medical care. Stay at home, self-isolate and monitor your symptoms. Follow national guidance on self-isolation.

However, if you live in an area with malaria or dengue fever it is important that you do not ignore symptoms of fever.  Seek medical help.  When you attend the health facility wear a mask if possible, keep at least 1 metre distance from other people and do not touch surfaces with your hands. If it is a child who is sick help the child stick to this advice.

Seek immediate medical care if you have difficulty breathing or pain/pressure in the chest. If possible, call your health care provider in advance, so he/she can direct you to the right health facility.

5.How does COVID-19 spread?

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease spreads primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are relatively heavy, do not travel far and quickly sink to the ground. People can catch COVID-19 if they breathe in these droplets from a person infected with the virus. This is why it is important to stay at least 1 metre (3 feet) away from others. These droplets can land on objects and surfaces around the person such as tables, doorknobs and handrails. People can become infected by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. This is why it is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand rub.

WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways that COVID-19 is spread and will continue to share updated findings.

6.How can we protects others and ourselves if we don't know who is infected?

Practicing hand and respiratory hygiene is important at ALL times and is the best way to protect others and yourself.

When possible maintain at least a 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and others. This is especially important if you are standing by someone who is coughing or sneezing. Since some infected persons may not yet be exhibiting symptoms or their symptoms may be mild, maintaining a physical distance with everyone is a good idea if you are in an area where COVID-19 is circulating.

23 April 2020 : Union HRD Minister releases Alternative Academic Calendar for the upper primary stage today in New Delhi

Alternative Academic Calendar for primary stage was released by Union HRD Minister on 16th April, 2020




In order to engage students meaningfully during their stay at home due to COVID-19 through educational activities at home with the help of their parents and teachers, the alternative academic calendars at primary and upper primary stage (Classes VI to VIII) have been developed by the NCERT under the guidance of the MHRD. This Alternative Academic Calendar for upper primary stage was released by Union Human Resource Development Minister Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ in New Delhi today. The Alternative Academic Calendar for the primary stage has been released by Union HRD Minister on 16th April, 2020.

Speaking on the occasion Shri Pokhriyal said that this Calendar provides guidelines to teachers on the use of various technological tools and social media tools available for imparting education in fun-filled, interesting ways, which can be used by learner, parents and teachers even while at home. However, it has taken into account, the varying levels of access to such tools-Mobile, Radio, Television, SMS and various social media. He said that it is a fact that many of us may not have internet facility in the mobile, or may not be able to use different social media tools- such as whatsapp, facebook, twitter, google etc., the calendar guides teachers to further guide parents and students through SMS on mobile phones or through voice call. Parents are expected to help elementary stage students to implement this Calendar.

The Minister said that very soon all the remaining classes i.e., IX to XII and subject areas will be covered under this calendar. This calendar will cater to the need of all children including Divyang children (Children with Special Need)- link for Audio books, Radio programmes, Video programme will be included.

The calendar contains week-wise plan consisting of interesting and challenging activities, with reference to theme/chapter taken from syllabus or textbook. Most importantly, it maps the themes with the learning outcomes. The purpose of mapping of themes with learning outcomes is to facilitate teachers/parents to assess the progress in the learning of children and also to go beyond textbooks. The activities given in the calendar focus on learning outcomes and can thus be achieved through any resource including the textbooks children are using in their state or UT.

It also covers experiential learning activities such as Arts Education, Physical Exercises, yoga, pre-vocational skills, etc. This Calendar contains class-wise and subject-wise activities in tabular forms. This Calendar includes activities related to four languages as subject areas, i.e., Hindi English, Urdu and Sanskrit. This calendar also gives space to the strategies of reducing stress and anxiety among teachers, students and parents. Calendar includes link for Chapter wise e-content available on the e-pathshala, NROER and DIKSHA portal of GoI.

All the given activities are suggestive in nature, not prescriptive, nor is the sequence mandatory. Teachers and parents may opt to contexualise the activities and do those activities that the student shows interest in, irrespective of the sequence.

NCERT has already started having live interactive sessions with students, parents and teachers through the TV channel Swayam Prabha (Kishore manch)( available through Free DTH channel 128, Dish TV Channel # 950, SunDirect #793, Jio TV, Tatasky #756, Airtel Channel #440, Videocon Channel # 477),

Kishore Manch App (can be downloaded from play store) and Youtube live (NCERT Official Channel). Daily - Monday to Saturday these sessions are being telecast for primary classes from 11:00 am to 1;00 pm and for upper primary classes from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. In addition to interacting with the viewer, hands on activities along with teaching of topics are demonstrated in these live sessions . This calendar would also be disseminated by conducting video conferencing with SCERTs/SIEs, Directorates of Education, Kendriya Vidyalay Sangathan, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, CBSE, State School Education Boards, etc.

This Calendar will empower our students, teachers, school principals and parents to find out positive ways to deal with Covid-19 using on-line teaching-learning resources and also improving their learning outcomes getting school education at home.

केंद्र सरकार ने देश की जनता से 'विद्यादान' के लिए अपील की है। बुधवार को इसके लिए पोर्टल लॉन्च किया गया है। आप इसमें अपना योगदान कैसे दे सकते हैं, इस बारे में यहां बताया जा रहा है।

कोरोना वायरस (Covid-19) और लॉकडाउन (Lockdown) की मार झेल रहे स्टूडेंट्स की परेशानी दूर करने के लिए केंद्र सरकार ने एक और पहल की है। सरकार ने देश की जनता से 'विद्यादान' मांगा है। इसके लिए केंद्रीय मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्री डॉ. रमेश पोखरियाल निशंक ने विद्यादान प्रोग्राम (VidyaDaan) लॉन्च किया है।

यह प्रोग्राम ऑनलाइन प्लेटफॉर्म पर है। इसके संबंध में केंद्रीय मंत्री ने ट्विटर पर भी जानकारी दी है। साथ ही लोगों से इस प्लेटफॉर्म पर विद्या का दान देने की अपील की है।

क्या है विद्यादान
यह ऑनलाइन प्रोग्राम स्कूल और उच्च शिक्षा दोनों स्तर के स्टूडेंट्स के लिए है। विद्यादान ई-लर्निंग प्लेटफॉर्म है। लॉकडाउन के समय में स्टूडेंट्स को पढ़ने और सीखने के लिए कंटेंट की कमी न हो, इसके लिए इसकी शुरुआत की गई है।

केंद्रीय मानव संसाधन मंत्रालय के एक अधिकारी के अनुसार, विद्यादान को इंटीग्रेटेड डिजिटल एजुकेशन के मॉडल पर शुरू किया गया है। इसके जरिए हर तरह के स्टडी मैटीरियल्स को स्टूडेंट्स तक पहुंचाया जा सकेगा।

आप कैसे कर सकते हैं मदद
केंद्र सरकार ने देश की जनता (खासकर शिक्षकों) से कहा है कि वे ई-लर्निंग का कंटेंट बनाकर विद्यादान प्लेटफॉर्म पर शेयर करें। ये कंटेंट वीडियो, एनिमेशन, टीचिंग लेसन, असेसमेंट, क्वेश्चन बैंक, आदी किसी भी फॉर्मैट में हो सकता है।

आप नर्सरी से लेकर पीएचडी तक.. किसी भी स्तर के लिए, किसी भी भाषा में, किसी भी फॉर्मेट में कंटेंट तैयार कर विद्यादान में सबमिट कर सकते हैं। कोई भी अपना लॉग-इन बनाकर कंटेंट भेज सकता है।

विद्यादान 2.0 के माध्यम से नामांकन और योगदान की प्रक्रिया के बारे में अधिक जानकारी के लिए, आप https://vdn.diksha.gov.in/  पर जाएं या https://diksha.gov.in/ पर जाएं और विद्यादान पर क्लिक करें।
स्टूडेंट्स को कहां मिलेगा कंटेंट
विद्यादान में भेजा जाने वाला कंटेंट पहले एक्सपर्ट पैनल द्वारा जांचा जाएगा। स्वीकृत होने के बाद मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्रालय द्वारा उसे दीक्षा एप (DIKSHA App) पर अपलोड कर दिया जाएगा। स्टूडेंट्स दीक्षा एप पर ये कंटेंट एक्सेस कर सकेंगे।

23 अप्रैल को वर्ल्ड बुक डे क्यों? जानें खास बातें


23 अप्रैल विश्व साहित्य के इतिहास का एक अहम दिन है। इस दिन साहित्य जगत की कई बड़ी हस्तियों का निधन हुआ जिनमें विलियम शेक्सपियर भी शामिल हैं।

23 अप्रैल को हर साल वर्ल्ड बुक और कॉपीराइट डे मनाया जाता है। वर्ल्ड बुक कैपिटल 2020 कुआलालंपुर है जो मलेशिया की राजधानी है। यूनेस्को और उससे जुड़े संगठन दुनिया भर में विश्व पुस्तक दिवस मनाते हैं। इसका मुख्य उद्देश्य लोगों के बीच पढ़ने की आदत को प्रोत्साहित करना और दुनिया भर के लेखकों एवं पुस्तकों को सम्मान देना है।

23 अप्रैल को ही क्यों?
विलियम शेक्सपियर, मिगेल सर्वान्टिस और इंका गैरसिलासो समेत विश्व साहित्य जगत की बड़ी हस्तियों का इस दिन निधन हुआ था। उन हस्तियों को श्रद्धांजलि देने के लिए यूनेस्को ने 23 अप्रैल को विश्व पुस्तक दिवस के तौर पर चुना। पहली बार 23 अप्रैल, 1923 को स्पेन में किताब विक्रेताओं ने इस दिन को मनाया था। मिगेल डे सर्वान्टिस की याद में स्पेन में यह दिन मनाया गया था। फिर 1995 में पैरिस में यूनेस्को की आमसभा हुई जिसमें फैसला लिया गया था कि दुनिया भर के लेखकों को सम्मान और श्रद्धांजलि देने एवं किताबों के प्रति रुचि जगाने के लिए हर साल विश्व पुस्तक दिवस मनाया जाएगा।
कॉपीराइट क्या है?
कॉपीराइट एक कानूनी शब्द है। इसका मतलब है कि किसी रचना के मूल लेखक या रचनाकार का उस पर एक सीमित समय के लिए विशिष्ट अधिकार होता है। वह जिस कंपनी या जिस व्यक्ति को अधिकार दे, वह रचना का इस्तेमाल वाण्जियिक या दूसरे उद्देश्य के लिए कर सकता है। कई बार रचनाकार किसी प्रकाशन समूह या प्रकाशन कंपनी के साथ अनुबंध कर लेता है। फिर कॉपीराइट का अधिकार किसी खास प्रकाश समूह के पास चला जाता है जिसके अलावा उस रचना को कोई और प्रकाशित नहीं कर सकता है। अगर कोई इसका उल्लंघन करता है तो उसके खिलाफ कानूनी कार्रवाई हो सकती है।

वर्ल्ड बुक डे 2020 थीम
हर साल वर्ल्ड बुक डे का कोई खास थीम होता है। इस साल का थीम है 'किताबों में ज्ञान देने के साथ ही मनोरंजन करने की भी अनोखी क्षमता होती है'। इसमें कोई दो राय नहीं है कि जहां किताबों से हमें काम की जानकारी मिलती है, इससे हमारा ज्ञान बढ़ता है, वहीं हमें किताबों में काफी दिलचस्प चीजें भी पढ़ने को मिलती हैं। इससे हमारा मनोरंजन भी होता है। किताब से हमारी भाषा भी दुरुस्त होती है।

कैसे मनाया जाता है?
दुनिया के अलग-अलग देशों में इस दिन को अपने हिसाब से मनाया जाता है। कहीं मुफ्त में किताबें बांटी जाती हैं तो कहीं प्रतियोगिताओं का आयोजन होता है। स्पेन में दो दिनों तक रीडिंग मैराथन का आयोजन होता है। इसके अंत में एक लेखक को प्रतिष्ठित मिगेल डे सरवांटिस पुरस्कार दिया जाता है। स्वीडन में स्कूलों और कॉलेजों में लेखन प्रतियोगिताओं का आयोजन किया जाता है।

World Book and Copyright Day 23 April






Books: A Window into the World During COVID-19
Now more than ever, at a time when globally most schools are closed and people are having to limit time spent out of their homes, the power of books can be leveraged to combat isolation, to reinforce ties between people, and to expand our horizons, while stimulating our minds and creativity.

During the month of April and all year round, it is critical to take the time to read on your own or with your children. It is a time to celebrate the importance of reading, foster children's growth as readers, and promote a lifelong love of literature and integration into the world of work.

Celebrating World Book and Copyright Day
Through reading and the celebration of World Book and Copyright Day, we can open ourselves to others despite distance. We can travel thanks to imagination. From April 1st to 23rd, UNESCO is sharing quotes, poems and messages to symbolize the power of books and encourage reading as much as possible. By creating a sense of community through the shared readings and the shared knowledge, readers around the world can connect and mutually help curb loneliness.

In such circumstances, we invite students, teachers, and readers from around the world, as well as the whole book industry and library services, to testify and express their love for reading. We encourage you to share this positive message with others through #StayAtHome and #WorldBookDay.

The more people we can reach, the more people may be helped.

World Book Capital for 2020: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Each year, UNESCO and the international organizations representing the three major sectors of the book industry - publishers, booksellers and libraries, select the World Book Capital for a one-year period, effective 23 April each year.

The city of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia was selected because of the strong focus on inclusive education, the development of a knowledge-based society and accessible reading for all parts of the city’s population.

With the slogan "KL Baca – caring through reading", the program focuses on four themes: reading in all its forms, development of the book industry infrastructure, inclusiveness and digital accessibility, and empowerment of children through reading. Among other events and activities there will be the construction of a book city (the Kota Buku Complex), a reading campaign for train commuters, enhancing of digital services and accessibility by the National Library of Malaysia for the disabled, and new digital services for libraries in 12 libraries in poor housing areas of Kuala Lumpur.

The city's objective is to foster a culture of reading and inclusiveness - “A city that reads is a city that cares” – emphasizing ubiquitous access to books throughout the city. The city’s ambitious programme for World Book Capital is linked to the Vision 2020 for Kuala Lumpur and the eco-city project called the River of Life with open-air bookshops and libraries populating the newly-restored waterways of the city.

Background
23 April is a symbolic date for world literature. It is on this date in 1616 that Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors, such as Maurice Druon, Haldor K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo.

It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those, who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity. With this in mind, UNESCO created the World Book and Copyright Day. The Day is celebrated by a growing number of partners and since its launch has shown itself to be a great opportunity for reflection and information on a significant theme.

It is observed by millions of people in over 100 countries, in hundreds of voluntary organizations, schools, public bodies, professional groups and private businesses. In this lengthy period, World Book and Copyright Day has won over a considerable number of people from every continent and all cultural backgrounds to the cause of books and copyright. It has enabled them to discover, make the most of and explore in greater depth a multitude of aspects of the publishing world: books as vectors of values and knowledge, and depositories of the intangible heritage; books as windows onto the diversity of cultures and as tools for dialogue; books as sources of material wealth and copyright-protected works of creative artists. All of these aspects have been the subject of numerous awareness-raising and promotional initiatives that have had a genuine impact. There must nevertheless be no let-up in these efforts.

Since 2000, World Book and Copyright Day has inspired another initiative of professional organizations which receives the assistance of UNESCO and backing from States: World Book Capital City. Each year a city is chosen which undertakes to maintain, through its own initiatives, the impetus of the Day’s celebrations until 23 April of the following year. Almost all the regions of the world, in turn, have already been involved in this process, which thus transforms the celebration of books and copyright into a recurrent activity, extending still further the geographical and cultural influence of books.

Over recent years, the World Day has shown that it can be a potent symbol for the launch of major support operations, in particular in Latin America and Africa.
