“…This transition towards virtual education necessitates timely large-scale allocation of resources for catering the academic requirements of approximately 47 million (according to the figures of year 2018) students which have discontinued their formal education (Fig. 7) (Ahsan 2020;Hyder 2020;Siddiqi 2020). This situation has resulted in increased drop-out rates as some small-scale educational institutions permanently ceased their activities due to shortage of funds.…”

“…It is estimated that only 16% of the total population of Pakistan use smartphones having internet access while 53% people are using conventional mobile phones with basic features which lack internet connectivity options (as per the statistics of 2018). This is usually attributed to high poverty ratio and lack of technology infrastructure which limit the access of highend internet facilities and ICT equipment to students living in urban or semi-urban regions and usually belonging to middle and upper societal classes (Hyder 2020;Saeed 2020).

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected about 210 countries with more than 67 million confirmed cases and over 1.5 million deaths across the globe including Pakistan. Considering the population density, health care capacity, existing poverty and environmental factors with more than 420,000 infected people and about 8300 plus mortalities, community transmission of the coronavirus happened rapidly in Pakistan. This paper analyses the short-and long-term effects of COVID-19 peak on the socio-economic and environmental aspects of Pakistan. According to the estimates, an economic loss of about 10%, i.e. 1.1 trillion PKR, will be observed in the FY 2021. Certain pandemic impediment measures like lockdowns, social distancing and travel restrictions taken by the Government have been thoroughly analysed to determine how they impacted the livelihoods of nearly 7.15 million workers. Consequently, a rise of 33.7% of poverty level is projected. While many negative impacts on primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy such as agriculture, education and health care are observed, a drastic improvement in air quality index of urban centres of the country has been recorded amid lockdowns. With current economic crisis, fragile health care system and critical health literacy, a well-managed and coordinated action plan is required from all segments of the society led by the public authorities. Thorough assessment of COVID-19 scenario, management and control measures presented in this study can be assistive for the provision of policy guidelines to governments and think tanks of countries with similar socio-economic and cultural structure.

“…Lockdowns seem to undermine several demographic processes such as the source of people's livelihoods, and institutional capacity (Calderon et al 2020). These processes can provide explanations for the differential costs and benefits of lockdowns for the poor and the rich in developing countries (Hyder 2020). Imposing strict lockdowns in poor countries; where people often depend on daily hands-on labour to earn enough to feed their families; could lead to a comparable number of deaths from deprivation, hunger and preventable diseases (Lawton 2020).…”

The urban penalty of COVID-19 lockdowns across the globe: manifestations and lessons for Anglophone sub-Saharan Africa

et al. 2020

The paper contributes towards deciphering and decoding the misery of the urban poor in light of the COVID-19 scourge. The paper unpacks urban poverty in light of the corona virus. The emergence of the COVID-19 and the lack of any vaccines requires physical distancing as preventative measures to contain and reduce the spread of the virus. Governments across the world, including in Anglophone Sub Saharan Africa have implemented lockdown measures. The COVID-19 pandemic is happening within settlements where the majority of the population lives from hand to mouth. In Anglophone sub-Saharan Africa because of urbanisation and increased urban poverty, COVID-19 scourge has had a huge impact on the urban poor. The COVID-19 is likely to devastate economies and the community. For rapidly growing, densely populated and poorly planned settlements, the situation is tragic for these inhabitants. Nation states lockdown and social and physical distancing in response to the pandemic have escalated their misery. The paper adopts a critical review of literature anchored in case study analysis, document analysis and scanning from reports. Results point to redefining the way humanity has related, functioned and conceptualised realities. There is need to go beyond prevention from infection as majority of urban dwellers are in the informal sector or unemployed. For the urban poor, strategies for social distancing may not be possible or effective. People are being asked to make choices between being hungry and risk of getting infected. The paper recommends planning response at national, regional and local level bearing in mind informal settlements, high densities and forms of overcrowding which have been placed as hotspots for the virus. There is need for rebuilding societies, during and beyond COVID-19 calling for immediate disaster risk planning adaptation and transformation to promote resilience.

“…When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit Indonesia, all human life sectors, like all other countries, experienced difficulties and sorrow (Putra et al, 2020;Hyder et al, 2020;Radic et al, 2020). There was no other choice at that time to reduce and break the pandemic chain; the Indonesian government was forced to take a policy by establishing a national Large-Scale Social Restriction.…”
