Life After Curfew

What will happen after the curfew is eased?

The government has eased the curfew and hopefully, it will be completely over soon. But unfortunately, ease in timings doesn’t mean that the threat of COVID-19 has passed too. 

Coronavirus is still here to haunt us and we need to stay cautious. 

Post-lockdown life will not be as we used to live it. To protect ourselves and our families we need to know how life will be changed when the lockdown is lifted.

Spread positivity, not virus
Spread positivity, not the virus

As of now, we don’t know what life after Corona will be, but we can foresee what life after curfew will be. Let’s look at different aspects of life that will evolve into a new normal.

  • Social Life

Our social life will bear the most Corona impact.

Gatherings and parties will continue to be held, but it’ll be in a simple manner with only the maximum number of people allowed by the government, in attendance.

To keep ourselves safe, we should ideally limit hosting and inviting people to parties, social functions, group meetings, large-scale conferences, and other celebrations.

  • Tourism 

Tourism took a massive hit during this pandemic, and for the right reasons. Foreign tourists have the biggest share in uplifting the tourism industry of any country. Globetrotters became homebound and the industry came to a standstill.

Even though flights will be resumed soon, it seems that vacation plans will have to be at hold until the things return to normal and we’re at the least risk of getting infected.

Travel

  • Entertainment

Staying at home, people have made use of time to binge-watch all the seasons & movies they ever wanted to see. Netflix and Amazon Prime became the ultimate entertainment channels.

Theaters and cinema halls are still under government ban, so the couch is your best friend for much longer now. Hit us up for shows recommendations!

Netflix and chill!

  • Education

Lockdown has pushed us to digitize our education system. Virtual classrooms and e-learning are here to stay. 

After the lockdown is lifted, schools and colleges will allow a limited number of students and social distance between each student. It appears that timings will be reduced and school functions will be prohibited for a while.

Every student will be instructed to wear masks and carry sanitizer in their bags.

  • Economy

A country’s economy depends on it’s GDP, no doubt about that.

GDP will increase if sales and services increase. But lockdown has brought all the finances in a difficult situation. 

The economy has faced a huge blow, and it will take years to restore the global economy back to normal. But we’ll get there, one step at a time.

Crisis

Human beings are adaptable and flexible. You’ve managed to stay under curfew for more than 11 weeks, now it’s your responsibility to make sure all safety precautions are duly met when and if you do plan to go out.

The safest way to protect ourselves from COVID-19 is to stay home even when the lockdown is over and learn to coexist with Corona.

What’s our Civic Responsibility after Curfew Ends?

Civic Responsibilities That We Should Be Aware Of

The government has eased the coronavirus lockdown from the start of June. In the three-phase ease, the country will hopefully return to normalcy.  

From May 31st to June 20th, the curfew time will be further relaxed in the Kingdom’s regions, except Makkah, between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Even though we’re getting rid of the curfew, we shouldn’t forget our civic responsibilities in order to keep our communities and families safe. The biggest challenge aka Covid-19 is still out there, so protect yourselves.

Follow the safety instructions against Corona given by the government and the WHO. Here’s a list of instructions that you can follow and learn how to avoid Coronavirus.

  • Wear Masks

The safest and most effective precaution to stop the spread of coronavirus is to wear a mask. Change your mask every day, and dispose of it the right way.

  • Wash Your Hands

Keep washing

Wash your hands for 20 seconds before wearing gloves, and after you take them off. Learn the WHO safety protocols and wash your hands accordingly. 

Wash your hands with clean water and soap. Lather your hands and rub your hands for 20 seconds.

While washing your hands, keep in mind to turn off the tap. In the midst of one global crisis, let’s not worsen another. 

  • Sanitize frequently

When the lockdown is over and you’re free to roam outside, and water and soap are not available everywhere, replace it with the sanitizer. 

Buy the pocket-sized alcohol-based sanitizer and use it frequently. Use it over your gloves after touching surfaces that are frequently touched by others.

  • Avoid Social Gatherings

be a civic responsible citizen

For Coronavirus prevention, avoid attending large gatherings even if you’re allowed outside. A gathering of more than 20 people could result in heavy penalties from the government.

Take necessary precautions before visiting malls or restaurants. Keep a safe distance from other families while visiting the park with your kids.

  • Maintain Social Distancing

We all agree on the importance of social distancing. The lockdown days are soon to be over but the social distancing protocols still stand.

It’s our civic obligation to be responsible and maintain a distance of at least 3 steps. Avoid shaking hands with people and follow hygiene etiquettes.
