 Farming 

They are not allowed to transport all of their crops and livestock in case they had diseases like covid-19. It was hard with the virus to keep the food growing that people were depending on because harvesting crops takes a large number of people to do and they are usually all close together which means it harder to harvest as many crops as they did before covid-19.

Builder 

 

The building was allowed to continue throughout covid-19 except for level 4 but they could work in levels one, two, and three but they had to follow the restrictions with levels 2 and 3 with location tracing, social distancing and wearing masks.

Accountant 

Accounting was no exception they could not work where they usually work because of social distancing. 

Veterinarian 

Vets had to provide clients and colleagues with covid 19 safe environments and embrace digital health care while ensuring that they can continue as a viable business. They were classed as essential workers so they could work during some lockdowns but many pet owners avoided the vets in case of covid-19.

Radiographer 

Radiography plays a big role in diagnosis for covid-19 mainly the most affected people. Chest radiography should only be reserved for those very ill patients. As radiographers work on the front line they should be aware of the risks with covid-19.

Today in Whenua we had to post our research about how the five jobs that we choose last week to write about how they were affected by covid-19 I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was getting information for a builder, farmer, and radiographer but there wasn't much that I understood. The most difficult part for me was getting information for an accountant
