At that time, the cafe and restaurant will also resume business, but she likes to eat out on weekdays but she does not plan to patronize. "As a consumer, I will not take the initiative to go to the restaurant to eat. I will consider take-out or ordering services. But if a friend invites, I will still consider it, or persuade my friends to avoid gathering as much as possible."
After returning to work, Penny, who had been taking the subway to work, planned to travel by bicycle instead. "I found it impossible to keep people away in confined spaces. Although they all wear masks, they are still not very safe. So I try to choose bicycles to avoid public transportation, and it is also for the safety of other colleagues around me."
