The COVID-19 crisis is having a devastating effect on all social and economic sectors. In a series of briefs, the ILO analyses how the pandemic is affecting the functioning of these sectors and how they are responding to alleviate its effects.
Drastic changes oscillating between periods of high productivity and high laziness.
As far as i am concerned, the pandemic has given me a scope to work exactly the way i wanted to all my life: In isolation, making good use of quality time and working without disturbances and distractions due to Office politics, and unwanted human interactions.
There are many negative effects from stopping teaching at the university and the suffering of families who do not have a source of livelihood and do not have the money to live, but the positive effects, including: We can spend our vacations in our homes normally, and travel is not a requirement and getting used to a healthy life is not difficult.

For me, I am realizing the value of our colleagues, students and friends. The on line classes are not so useful but we are able to bond with our students. The positive thing is break from regular duties. Hope everything will be normal once again. I would like to pray for everyone who are struggling for their livelihood
Dear M. Nazmul Hoque , we will understand the impacts of covid-19 for a long time to come. Since the drop in income, the reduction of working hours, the situation of home office work and the change in some professions and digitalization of processes, among others. At the university, despite the lockdown, activities were adapted and teaching continued remotely, as well as management issues. But we will still have more changes, considering what was positive and what needs to be improved. In a city like São Paulo with a high population density, expanding the home office has improved the quality of life by reducing the time spent on mobility. But other aspects need to be considered, I agree with the comments Shaheen Begum , Ramazan Bicer , Luay A. Al-Helaly , Debopam Ghosh , Mohsin Yousuf Lone , Yazan Haddad , Ette Etuk and Aparna Devi
