Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Are businesses ready for another wave of Covid-19 cases?
Aren’t Covid cases over yet? Though it is no longer labeled as a
pandemic, Covid-19 is surely here and there, and in fact, the cases are rising
as new variants like Pirora and Eris are showing up around the world. Since
Covid is no longer a novel virus or unfamiliar threat, more people and
businesses take it less seriously than they did before. However, as students have
returned to school, more employees are being called back to offices, and
travelers are returning to popular destinations, Covid cases are surely on the
rise. Yes, businesses, offices, and schools have learned to cope with lockdowns
and restrictions during the pandemic, and they are better prepared for the next
wave. But there are businesses and workers that have not recovered from the
impact of the pandemic, such as tourism, hospitality, and transportation
industries. And the flu season is approaching in the northern hemisphere. It
may be too early to dispose of the face masks that we stocked during the
pandemic. Social distancing may not be a phrase of the past yet.
Read the text and think about how we can deal with the ongoing infectious
disease.
