When the pandemic first began, or to be more precise when it first started getting more media coverage and we got to know about it, the entire world shut down. Flights were grounded, businesses were closed – in fact, many countries imposed a curfew that restricted people from leaving their homes completely.

Masks are now mandatory in most public places, online gatherings have become the norm, and it’s common to see people getting their temperature checked at entrances before being allowed in.
