Abstract
This paper is focused on the research procedures concerning the effects of the pandemic with a back up of literary sources to provide an accurate data and information. I have provided the problems and dilemma on the COVID 19 situation and how it is affecting our community with the aid of primary and secondary sources.

Introduction
Our community is our greatest gift since this is where we work, play and grow up to become the individuals that we are supposed to be. We are connected with one another and we have take such a huge blow due to this pandemic.

Whilst about 40 out of the 100 participants answered in the surveys and questionnaires that the government has not been excellent in their battle against the COVID and needs more plans, strategies and methods of intervention.

The isolation has caused such a drastic effect to our community and led to deaths by suicide and hunger. Time has stopped for the whole world as more people are infected as the days go by. Fear has also occupied the minds of the community hence some are too afraid to go out and have been stuck at home feeling more depressed. When the participants were asked what other options could be relied on to beat this virus, they answered that the Universities and the Educational Institutions ...
