“COVID-19 pandemic affected people in my household, especially my siblings who are unable to go to study because schools are closed. Other people I know have lost their jobs because some jobs were shut down and some others reduced workers so they have nothing to do. That is how the pandemic affected people I know or in my household. It didn’t affect my family’s income because it stayed the same. I was not able to do anything during this COVID-19 that can generate money for my family because I am unable to do what I used to do because we are still in this Coronavirus situation. What I used to do can not give me money now to provide for my family. After Corona I will continue working as usual and earn money for my family. I would do it now but due to the COVID-19 I am unable to do it. The Coronavirus situation will first end and then I will continue working.”
