CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 AND HIGHER EDUCATION: IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause diseases ranging from the common cold to more serious ones. The COVID-19 Coronavirus was first detected in China in December 2019, and has since spread to all regions of the world. The World Health Organization provides proven and constantly updated information about COVID-19 and its spread, and also suggests which health measures should be taken at the individual and collective levels in order to prevent it and avoid its spread.
