The deadly coronavirus is not going to die so soon and therefore we should learn to live a safe life amid the crises of Covid-19. One may like it or not but it is a fact that we are forced to live with the covid-19. The pandemic has become a part of daily experience and we should live our life while observing all guidelines of the authorities. It is a hard fact that the lockdowns are not the permanent answer to the crises unfolded by the coronavirus as lockdowns cannot be extended for long periods and therefore the people should learn to live with the coronavirus. All that is required is to follow the guidelines fully while venturing outside or while doing work at the work place. Thus wearing of the masks ,maintaining of social distancing and cleaning of the hands with sanitizers or with the soap is all that is required to be done while venturing or working outside or at the work place. People should also learn to avoid to go to the places of big gatherings. Since the total lockdowns are not advisable for the long durations because of the economic fallouts and therefore it becomes necessary to work while observing the guidelines of the government. This is the best way of fighting the disease while working and performing the routine work. So, all that is required is to follow the rules and regulations of the government while working in the work place or while venturing to get the essential requirements. Thus the best way to live amid coronavirus is to work while recognising the fact that the virus is not going to go away so soon and therefore we should work and do our routine work and daily chorus while observing the rules and regulations of the government. The wearing of the masks and observing of the much needed social distance has become a part and Parcel of our life and therefore we should work with utmost caution and care. Since lock downs cannot be imposed for long durations because of the fact that it is not economically desirable and affects the economic life and so we should learn to work amid the coronavirus threat .But we can live with the virus while taking all the required precautions in the real work place or while working outside. The wearing of masks and social distancing as well as the cleaning of our hands has become part of our life and we should therefore work while observing the guidelines of the government. We have to fight the coronavirus jointly and for this it is essential that we should learn to work with the covid-19 and not allow our economy to be badly affected. The markets, work places, factories and companies cannot be closed for long durations as it affects the economic health of the nation. Many private companies have fired their employees because of the lockdown and so many companies have not given the salaries to their employees during the lockdown period. Some private establishments have halved the salaries of their employees during the lockdown period and therefore it is not in the interest of the employees and the country to order the lockdown for pretty long time as it is not economically feasible and so we have to find the ways and means of continuing the work amid the coronavirus and so we have to work during the ciovid-19.Building the good immune system and working with the coronavirus is needed to tide over the situation.
Covid-19 is the unprecedented crises and it requires extra ordinary steps and caution and while taking of the required steps and observing the guidelines we should work and the wheels of economy cannot go backwards and so we should work for strengthening the economy during the unforeseen times of the crises. So what is needed is to observe the government rules and regulations while working and while venturing outside. Therefore there is immediate need to resume the economic activity while observing the rules during the work. The best way to fight the virus is to observe the rules and the regulations while working outside. Therefore we should work amid the coronavirus and come victorious and the key for this is to maintaining of the much required social distancing while working in the factories and companies as well are in the government offices. All that is required is to learn to live with coronavirus and not be affected by the virus.
