Time and situation now are more manageable than last year. People are now more familiar with the guidelines and restrictions. Children are now even allowed to go out of their houses and even visit malls. Face shields are no longer required in some areas and locations. Businesses are already adjusting and keeping up with their losses. Are we really close to the pandemic being over? We are not sure of that so mindfulness and being careful is still advised after all. Being extra careful is still better than being sorry.
