People have also been connected with family, friends, and loved ones via social media and technology like Zoom and other online messaging apps. While many countries witnessed a dip in the rate of infection and the death toll as they prepared to ease restrictions for the people to resume businesses, people in the country have been hoping eagerly to return to normalcy in their everyday lives in weeks ahead.
