COVID-19 has shut down most people's normal lives. But grocery stores are still open, mail is still delivered, and restaurants are offering meals via delivery.

Most importantly, healthcare workers are doing all they can—putting their own lives at risk—to treat and save those who have contracted the disease. In this book, readers will get inspired by the real-life heroes of one of the largest health crises in human history.
Explore how COVID-19 has affected countries, businesses, and individuals. Readers will learn about economic and environmental effects, both negative and positive, as we look toward a future beyond the virus"--
