What does the te-form mean here by itself?

> コロナウイルスがうつった人のことも考えて

Edit: The context is a newspaper headline: 大学の入学試験「コロナウイルスがうつった人のことも考えて」Does a
te-request really make sense in this context?

question
meaning て-form
Te-form by itself「コロナウイルスがうつった人のことも考えて」
Context would help, but I would suggest considering the possibility of it
being a request, leaving a following ください or more informally くれ unsaid. The
sentence therefore means something like "(Please) Think about all the people
the corona virus has infected."

answer
It's a short form of 「～てください(te-kudasai)」 and kudasai is omitted. So the whole
sentence should be 「コロナウイルスがうつった人のことも考えてください。」, which means "Please think
about the people who got infected with the coronavirus."

I think this usage of Te-form is more common in conversation than writing,
such as 「助けて！(tasukete="Help (me)!")」 or 「明日来て。(asita kite="Come tomorrow.")」,
probably because it's short and easy to say. On the other hand, Te-kudasai is
more formal, polite, and common in writing.
