One of the many affected sectors is education  In response to Covid-19  pandemic, medical education faculty have quickly transitioned the curriculum to online formats.

Under restriction of social isolation because of Covid-19 pandemic, human anatomical dissection takes a compulsory break. Afterward students will come back to their essential training  in dissection room.
