Covid-19 has been a big problem this year and has affected everyone. Luckily, I live in an area where Covid-19 isn’t too bad, but unfortunately many people weren’t so lucky. For a while Covid-19 was just something I’d just seen on the news, and I didn’t think too much about it. In March everything changed, Covid-19 was spreading, and it became a real problem in Australia. Near the end of March NSW was put into lockdown and my school was shutdown. At the beginning I wasn’t allowed to see my extended family often, especially my grandparents. I couldn’t hang out with my friends and my sport activates were cancelled.

Lots of shops closed down and my parents couldn’t even go to the food shops often. When they did, they could only buy a certain amount of items. There was a shortage of many items e.g. toilet paper and general cleaning items. As time went on Covid-19 slowed down and the restrictions eased. During April the amount of daily cases dropped a lot and it seemed like the situation was beginning to stabilize. During June school slowly reopened and a lot of the restrictions were lifted. Unfortunately, ever since July the amount of new cases has been increasing rapidly in Victoria. Luckily Covid-19 has mainly disappeared from NSW.
