It is argued that Covid-19 safety precautions has done damage towards social relationships.
This essay totally disagrees with that statement. I believe that in today’s contemporary world,
human society is evolving - in a far more literal sense, where technologies are being used
redundantly. Ergo, we shall not worry about these minor precautions being done rather than a
core concern of half the world’s population being in a danger due to the exposure on the
outside. As this pandemic turns into a catastrophic state, such safety measurements need to be
lifted to ensure a hassle free future.

Adage applies to a saying that has attained credit through long use. In my opinion an
isolation, doesn’t only assure one from being exposed at higher risk of Covid-19 but also be
able to build resilience within one’s self to fight this pandemic together. To uphold this, as
government introduced strict regime on isolation it hasn’t done damage nevertheless it gave
opportunities to families on strengthening relationships and building gratitude towards one
another.

As the saying goes “Safety doesn’t happen by accident”, this reflects on the strict regimen
opposed by the government. We should understand the importance for a safer environment
instead of belittling the current situation. In terms of communication, we can reach out
virtually as we are familiar with the usage of online applications, or we can visit our friends
by following the SOP. Hence, safety measurements are not demising social relationships in a
long run as we are finding non hostile ways to suit our needs

The pandemic is a call of gratitude for those who have social anxiety, as we live in a society
where introverts find it difficult to cope with extroverts. This helps them to work on their
communication skills beforehand, and build up their confidence before approaching someone.

Conclusively, COVID-19 by all means is a ‘digital epidemic’ where the related statistics
spread rapidly than the virus itself thus, it’s proven that positive outcomes on the isolation
overweigh the negatives concerning matters by looking a way forward to this issue
