According to the GLM International Language Monitoring Index, the most used words in 2020 were “Covid”, and of course the result will be the same in 2021, with related vocabulary such as “Corona” virus, vaccination, etc., and it seems that the world has been waiting for the past two years for a return Life as it was, and the elimination of the epidemic, but the truth may be shocking, which is that we will not return to what we were, certainly no longer need to take a long trip to attend a meeting of an hour or two, and we will not need to travel to attend a conference that can be attended “online”, and on Although the topic is not so simple, as traditional jobs and businesses such as freight transport and supply chains will still be needed, where the movement of goods and food has been affected due to movement and shipping restrictions, but the truth is clear and clear in the words of the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Ghebreyesus.
The man's message was very clear, on July 23, 2020, where he said in the text that it is perfectly understandable that people want to go on with their lives, but that we will not go back to "the old normal." The pandemic has changed the way we live our lives, but part of adapting to the “new normal” is finding ways to live safely. anyway.
The new choices are concerned with individuals on a personal level, then communities and institutions, and of course governments and stakeholders.
At the level of individuals, we should reconsider our daily dealings and habits, we must pay attention to the places we go to, such as restaurants and cafes, and we must adhere to simple and important safety measures at the same time, which may contribute to not transmitting infection to us, such as hygiene and wearing masks, and unfortunately, many are still They do not pay attention to this matter, and may even denounce the fact that some people wear a muzzle and take care of sterilization, and large numbers are still attending weddings and funerals without regard to any consideration.
If we want to survive, we must change our habits, especially since the new habits will save us a lot of money, time and effort. There is no need to hold funerals and there is no need for large numbers and crowding at weddings and concerts.
It may not just be about your life, but your choices may be the difference between life and death for someone you love, or a complete stranger to you.
The decrease in infections in the place where we live does not mean that we abandon caution, we must follow our health and the condition of our family members, know information about the epidemic, and how to reduce exposure to infection, do we make sure to distance at least a meter from others?
Do we commit to cleaning hands frequently?
Do we follow the instructions and instructions of the competent authorities?
No matter where you live, how old you are or what your job is, you can be a leader in your community, not only to defeat the pandemic, but to build back better. The next article will address the role of community institutions and stakeholders in the “new normal.”
We must adhere to simple but important safety measures that may help prevent infection from spreading to us.
