What are the claim of fact on the said article?
The closing of 2019 stunned the world with a silent, raging storm, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). The World Health Organization (WHO) has learned about this infectious disease on the 31st of December, 2019 from cases of Wuhan, People's Republic of China. On the 5th of January, WHO issued its first disease outbreak detailed report about a cluster of pneumonia cases whose cause is yet unknown (WHO, 2020). On the 9th of January, the first death linked to was reported. On the 11th of February, 2020, the disease's name causing the new coronavirus outbreak was officially announced coronavirus disease 2019 by the World Health Organization (CDC, 2020). It was abbreviated as Covid-19. As days progressed, Covid19 cases continued to grow exponentially, which was considered a global pandemic. As of November 4, 2020, there are 48, 054, 541 confirmed cases around the world, 1,223,409 reported deaths, and 34,485,291 recovered cases. Covid-19 is causing turmoil in 216 countries and territories worldwide (Worldometer, 2020). As of November 5, 2020, there are 130 country-wide school closures and 990,324,537 affected learners. (UNESCO, 2020). Considering this present global educational situation, educational institutions were forced to find a way to deliver quality education to the learners outside of the classrooms. Educational institutions in countries affected by Covid-19 were forced to act quickly instead of strategically study, design, and adapt to changes in the new teaching and learning setting (Thompson & Lodge, 2020). This posed an enormous challenge since most educational systems are not yet prepared. However, digital learning appears to be the solution at this time (Marshal & Kostka, 2020; Palsdottir, 2020). Therefore countries must learn from this experience and start designing contingency plans during difficult times like this. Despite these challenges education departments and ministries worldwide face, some heroes have to be commended for their selfless love and dedication to their profession and for their students despite the risks they face. These are all the generous-hearted teachers around the world.
