Resilience in the Midst of Covid-19 Global Pandemic

Since the advent of Covid-19 global pandemic, there have been numerous sustainable efforts to mitigate its effects. Various tools have been deployed to help individuals, organizations, institutions, companies and government agencies in overcoming the economic hardship caused by Covid-19.
The unprecedented challenges that arose in 2020 led to technological breakthrough that enabled some workers attend to their jobs from the comfort of their homes and learners being able to learn and be examined virtually.
Technology was well harnessed in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic as various individuals stayed glued to their mobile and desktop gadgets to enhance ‘working from home’ protocol, attend virtual meetings and to schedule their daily routines using online calendars.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the education sector was the most affected as most learning institutions were shut down to prohibit mass gathering. However, most learning institutions rose to the occasion to embrace online learning and digital education.
According to entrepreneur, 198 free tools have been used to help individuals overcome the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Some of the top tools that have so far been used by many individuals and organizations are Zoom, Google Classrooms, RingCentral, Slack, Intermedia, LogMeln, Comcast, Bloomz, BlueJeans, Yext and Dashly among others.
Technology has been leveraged in terms of business transactions, as most individuals and companies started embracing online transactions. For example in Kenya, most people did more shopping from e-Commerce websites such as jumia and Masoko, Kilimall, Skygarden and Avechi in 2020. When the government imposed tougher Covid-19 restrictions, most Kenyans used safaricom mPesa and Equity bank equitel services to purchase goods and services.
Other than technological breakthrough, individuals found themselves doing more physical activities such as exercising, gardening and engaging in other sweat-igniting activities to kill boredom. These activities are essential in reducing mental stress and improving the health status of individuals undertaking such exercises.
