Effects of the Covid pandemic: contacts are still far away

While the Covid epidemic has not completely disappeared in our country because the entire population is not yet immunized, vaccinations continue in our canton with the aim of preventing the spread of this virus.

A pandemic that has, on the other hand, clearly upset both professional and private relationships. And there are many people who, at present, still respect the distance in rental properties, public transport and even in family contacts where we hesitate to kiss, with a terrible fear of contracting the virus. .

It is true that life is no longer the same and people’s mentality seems to have changed a bit. This observation is found in hospitals and nursing homes where wearing the mask is still relevant as a form of prevention.

Evidence confirming that relations between human beings have deteriorated somewhat during the pandemic and are struggling to resume the pre-Covid pace. This lack of civility seems to persist on a daily basis, while benevolence is nothing more than a serene look towards oneself and others.

Whatever you think, it will take time to regain trust and strengthen bonds with everyone in the private sector and in the workplace.
