Answer 1

My response to above given situation and the recent pandemic as a public affairs officer will be as follows:

COVID-19's rapid expansion has been affecting worldwide lives, livelihoods, cultures and industries. Worldwide organisations, including the Forum and its members, are working together and seeking new ways to reduce public health risks and mitigate threats to markets and supply chains. Governments around the world are implementing lockdowns in a effort to stop coronavirus spread. This is especially daunting in major cities with families unexpectedly being limited to tiny apartments for weeks on end. As we end April and continue another month of working around the COVID crisis, many non-profit members have felt the need to take proactive – and frequently daunting – steps in response to how their organisations have been influenced by financial and programmatic realities. As a non-profit public officer agency requires associations or funding from people that may fund the procurement of vital health and safety materials and resources, including personal protection devices, medical facilities, testing and research items, necessary medications, and parts, as part of the government's response to COVID-19.
