Covid-19 or Coronavirus disease-19 first affected Wuhan, China in December of 2019 and by March 2020 it had set its foot in almost every country in the world-leading WHO to declare it a pandemic. Most countries were shut down completely, rest under partial lockdown, people were asked to stay indoors and public places were all empty. Its been 6 months and the virus still thrives but life is resuming slowly. Countries are opening up; people are adopting newer ways and taking precautions to presume life. Anxious for the vaccine, people are slowly adopting life in the “new normal”.
Education and jobs
Waking up early and hurrying to schools and jobs is not happening again anytime soon for most people. Children had to drop out of schools and colleges, adults lost their jobs during the lockdowns. Those who are privileged to still have a job or school/college are cribbing over the fact that most of them have to work/study from home. Those who are going to their jobs or colleges have to be very careful and take necessary precautions like wearing a mask at all times, sanitizing hands frequently and keeping a distance of at least 6 feet from other people, etc.
Events and parties
Meeting friends and family without being paranoid is what we all need to learn. Events conducted on zoom calls and house parties with limited guests are the savior so far. At a house party, one should not spend their time cooking meals instead of engaging in long conversations with their loved ones. You can take the help of banquet catering at The Bespoke Chef who provides catering services for home gatherings or small corporate events. They make sure to provide hygienic services and take care of all precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Small gatherings are the way to go.
Cleanliness and hygiene
One of the good things the pandemic has taught us is that we have to take care of personal hygiene and cleanliness a lot more than we were used to. Hygiene is going to be a highlighted feature in all products and services like restaurants and cafes. Using sanitizers and washing hands more frequently than before will become a part of life. People will pay due attention to the cleanliness of public places. The spread of disease could have been delayed only if people followed basic rules of hygiene like covering their faces while sneezing and coughing, using masks, etc.
Importance of healthy lifestyle
With the spread of the novel coronavirus, the biggest protection was thought to be our own immune system. People living a healthy life with an adequate amount of exercise, a healthy balanced diet, and a calm state of mind were at a lesser risk of getting the disease. People with a healthy lifestyle had a stronger immune system to fight against a new virus; if affected they had an easy recovery and lesser breathing troubles. We learned the value of a healthy lifestyle and people will adopt it in the “new normal”. A healthy lifestyle gives you a peaceful mind, a healthy body, and a strong immune system.
