The development of jobs by large corporations may aid in the hiring of more technical individuals. When health-care systems fail, both direct and indirect mortality from vaccine- and treatment-preventable illnesses skyrocket. Our country must make difficult decisions to combine rapid response to Covid-19 with strategic planning and deliberate effort to maintain basic health care service while limiting system collapse. There must be collaborative methods among responsible agencies to expand social amelioration packages to reduce people's financial incapacity and provide recommendations on a set of focused urgent steps that our neighboring nations can explore at national, regional, and local levels to restructure and sustain access to high-quality critical health services for all. Finally, the government should expand employment, particularly job security and tenure. Covid-19 has an impact on businesses and workers. Malanday firms closed, laying down employees..
