UPDATED: Socially Distanced Activities We Can Do in 2021
Whew,
now we’re down to the last month of 2020! In a few ticks, we’d be
bidding goodbye to this year filled with sentiments, downfalls, fear,
and much-needed resilience. Pharmaceutical companies were now able to
produce a vaccine for the root cause of this coronavirus pandemic.
And we hope that good news will continue to come as we end this.
With
so many missed activities this year, a lot of us are already itching
to hit the roads and go somewhere far from these homes that have made
us captive for months of lockdown. The country is now slowly reviving
the economy by easing travel bans. Health protocols are still
encouraged and some restrictions are still implemented. But things
are slowly reverting now to the ‘new normal’. Here’s a rundown
of the things we look forward to do this 2021! Buckles up, mates.
