"Many people stepped up to help others during the COVID-19 pandemic. A pandemic is a disease outbreak that spreads over large geographic areas, such as whole countries, continents, or multiple countries and continents, and affects a large portion of the population. Throughout the crisis, people of diverse ages and backgrounds put the needs of others above their own, often, at great personal sacrifice. They performed acts of service and kindness to help and support sick and vulnerable people, keep society safe and functioning, contain and control the virus, and help their local communities"--,Provided by publisher.
