Generally, when The^A COVID-19 spread between^Bthe world there are much^C positive things which will change in the supply chain in the world, for example, the worker will ↓^D focusing carefully^E when they deliver the goods with full safety equipment ,^F another positive thing is that must use some new technologies on board^G the ship and in the port to check the health of worker^H there and measure the body temperatures so, that is good to keep all workers in ↓^Ihealth^J condition and also to keep the cargo away from this^K kind of diseases.

Generally, when COVID-19 spreads in the world there are many positive things which will change in the supply chain in the world, for example, the workers will be focusing carefully while they deliver the goods with full safety equipment.  Another positive thing is that they must use some new technologies on board the ship and in the port to check the health of workers there and measure the body temperatures; so, that is good to keep all workers in ahealthy condition and also to keep the cargo away from these kinds of diseases.

explanation:

A - 'COVID - 19' a proper noun - a name given to a disease. So we must not use an article before it.

B - wrong preposition. 'Between' is used when we talk about position of something that has something on its either side. In the given constext, the appropriate prepostition is 'in', to indicate all around, within.

C - 'much' is used for uncountable nouns. Here, in the given context, the adjective signifies countable noun, 'things'. So, many is the appropriate indefinite adjective.

D - 'Will focusing' is a syntactic error. It should be either 'will focus' or 'will be focusing'. The down arrow signifies that there is a word missing in the tense. So 'will be focusing' is appropriate.

E - 'Whilethey deliver' indicates a contnuous sense of the action and is more appropriate.

F - 'Another' is the beginning of the next sentence. So, it should be capitalized.

G - 'on board the ship' is grammatically correct. So, no change.

H - 'workers' signifies the plural noun. Singular is inappropriate.

I - condition is a noun which signifies singular sense. So an indefinite singular article is needed.

J - healthy is the adjective that describes the noun 'condition'.

K - 'Diseases' is a plural noun. So, the demonstrative adjective 'these' is appropriate.
