Abstract

A novel coronavirus outbreak is an infectious pandemic that is occurring in 2019. Instead of being SARS or influenza, it is a zoonotic virus that may spread to people. COVID-19 was emerged at the end of 2019 in China in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei China. The two most significant and well-known methods of virus transmission are direct physical contact and inhalation. The purpose of this study is to assess the status of COVID-19 in the local community and how it affects the provision of animal services in the Ethiopian regions of Adea Berga, Ejere, and Wolmera. All 132 respondents (18 female, 113 male), 49 (37.4%) from Adea Berga, 41 (31.3%) Ejere and 49 (31.3%) Wolmera have information about the introduction of the pandemic in Ethiopia via mass media (radio and television, 81.8%). Most respondents (49.2%) confirmed those old age groups were the most vulnerable age category. Animal health service deliveries were reduced by 9.9% in Adea Berga, 1.5% in Ejere and 5.3% in Wolmera after the introduction of COVID-19 in Ethiopia. The occurrences of animal diseases were increased by 13% in Adea Berga, 0.8% in Ejere and 4.6% in Wolmera due to this pandemic. Increasing the knowledge of population and secure supplies, inputs and services for small holder farmers, medium and large scale farm owners is mandatory in the area.
