Answers
1. Issues
There are many issues identified by the world health organization, other officials, and
government regarding COVID-19. This has created the tensed situations and declared as the
worldwide health emergency. There is no medicine or vaccine available for treating the virus.
Anybody (people of all ages) can get infected from the novel coronavirus. People that are
suffering from the diseases like diabetes and asthma have more chances to getting infected
(Times Of India, 2020).
2. Connections
Leaders of nations, community organizations, and many other trusts are working and connected
effectively to provide the social support. These are implementing and designing the more actions
to minimize the exposures to COVID-19. These have announced the policies to support people
financially and physically. All the arrangement to serve the food has been done and started to
deliver the unemployment benefits. There are many initiatives has been started to respond the
critical situations. Healthcare services and initiatives have been developed at higher level to save
lives (Buckley, 2020).
3. Issues
There are many issues raised due to the COVID-19 for social service work practices to gain their
full potential. It has limited to deliver the health care services and minimizes the dealings to
handle the dangerous environments due to more chances of illness. This has raised the issue
regarding healthy development of all Youth. This has stopped the social policies as creates the
gape to work together. The execution centers regarding policies and arrangements have faced the
mismanagement issues (Barsky, 2020).
4. Presence of pandemic plan and existence of pandemic policy
I am aware that government has already assessed the COVID-19 as the pandemic. Health system
was prepared for situation. There are also many options developed to support economically and
financially. Canadian public health agency with public health authorities has developed the
pandemic policy. All government levels across the nations are working together to ensure the

preparedness and measures responses which are adaptable and appropriate. Public health efforts
are regularly focusing to minimize the issues. An advisory committee developed to advise the
appropriate coordination and minimize the issue (Wolfvile, 2020).
5. Learning’s
I have learned more from the experiences. This is important to take appropriate steps for
increasing the level of self-protection. It is important to avoid close contact with people that are
sick. This is good to keep distance from people as spreading in community. It is important for
individuals that are at higher level risk to getting sick. Frequently touched surfaces should be
cleaned regularly such as table, keyboards, door handles, study tables, and many more things.
I have founded the many social concerns. People are not protective and taking appropriate
actions against COVID-19. Lack of social distancing has increased the chance of disease as well.
Lacks of respiratory hygiene practices are also generating the more chances to increase the more
chances of spreading the virus.
Answers
1. Re-engagement of clients
I will initiate the more appropriate activities to re-engage all clients before the pandemic.
Following are the main points and important steps for getting the better results.
 Develop the remote work options
This will be announced that work remotely and use the free tools to stay in touch and work
effectively. Implement the remote work policy which will define the practices to remain
available and online to communicate through email, video calls, and many other forms.
 Sales strategy
Everyone will face the crisis together and transparency help to minimize the issues. Insight will
help to take the appropriate steps to from pandemic. Sales will be done through the digital
platform application like WeChat for proper engagement virtually. It is estimated that increase
the sales by good number.

 Flexibility
There will be flexibility available for the customers to minimize and eliminate the meetings and
travel. Meetings of teams will be postpone or taken place virtually. Conferences will be skipped
as minimize the liability issues and help to manage the morale and many other requested.
2. Completion of assigned practicum tasks
The assigned practicum tasks not completed due to the pandemic are sales of products,
management of inventory
 Sales activities
This will be important to appoint the sales executives to increase the sales of products and
develop the many strategies to marketing the products differently. It will be one by the proper
management and creative plan for the sales executive. Sales executive will determined and
applied all the strategies to improve the sales of every product. This person projects the expected
revenue through many activities and help to minimize the business losses.
 Operations
This will be important to manage the availability of business operations including management
of inventory with the effective supply chain. Good supply chain management system will be
produced to take care and manage the inventory with appropriate business activities. E-
commerce through the more online presence will help to run the business activities and paly the
important role to increase the satisfaction of customers. There will be full focus on the process of
improving the standardization. Six- sigma will also play the important role to improve the
current processes productivity or make the important modifications and change the procedure as
the important part of operational activities.
3. Concerns
There were gapes to take the proper actions regarding proper application of work meetings. Lack
of communication from the workplace coordination leaded to the ineffective business practice in
case of pandemic. Policies regarding sick leaves were not flexible and consistent with the

guidance as created the gape to understand the policies. Additional flexibility was not available
to ensure the connectivity of employer with the employees due to the lack of required resources.
There were no preparations to identify the substitute suppliers and prioritize the present
customer’s practices. The communication gape also leaded to base response regarding plans,
practices, and response. Lack of management also leaded to create the unnecessary situations
within the business functions. Working arrangement plans were not appropriate as prevented the
proper arrangements for completion of work.
