  Don't go back to the "Old Normal" yet!

  This is an image from the WHO website that reminds people that even though it has been long we still arent safe from spreading and getting the virus, and the title speaks "The New Normal".

This image is a reminder that we are still in the middle of the fight and can't stop now!
