It is only few days that separate us from ending the lockdown and the return of life to normal.
The end of the lockdown represents a new stage of a complete habilitation towards a new life.
I say habilitation because during the lockdown months we lost a lot of our energy to practice the life.
It is no doubt that the lockdown period had its great impact on our mentality due to the curfew, isolation, missing of the natural human contacts with each other and our staying away from work, activities and practicing our hobbies.
We are heading to a new reality dominated with precautions and reservation which we don’t know when it will come to an end.
We should cope with this new reality as much alert as we can, and this is the fate of the humanity as a whole.
We must balance between the natural desire in practicing what we want and the adherence to the health protocols in the fight against COVID-19 which is still crouching on our chests.
As of the first day of ending the lockdown all of us should shoulder the responsibility according to the official directives from the concerned authorities.
In the recent months the government was shouldering the whole responsibility, but now we are authentic partners in the fight against COVID-19.
The citizens will become the first defence line and we hope that the previous violations to the directives would not repeat otherwise the government will be forced to issue harsh restrictions including returning to the lockdown which nobody prefer.
