Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has brought the world to its knees. Businesses have been shut, schools and colleges are closed, travel banned, etc. The whole world is in complete lockdown.
COVID-19 may have turned our lives upside down but it has certainly provided an opportunity for all of us to rise and it has brought many drastic changes in our life.
The pandemic has given a huge lift to online learning. Online education, for instance, has got a major boost. We also have become more hygiene conscious. People have started taking personal hygiene more seriously. People are improving their personal hygiene that includes the use of hand sanitizer, washing their hands more often and maintaining cleanliness in and around their houses. People are also taking caution when they are in public spaces and are refraining from touching objects such as ATMs, elevator buttons, etc. We are now conscious of our personal hygiene and health as we have now recognized the need to stay healthy and hygienic.
The best lesson that the present situation is teaching everyone is that we can live a basic life with bare essentials such as food, clothing and shelter. The crisis has provided us with ample time to self-reflect and alter our behavioral patterns to cope with the prevailing situation and make our life happy and meaningful at the same time.
