Life was resumed in Saudi cities, even if this is partial pending the expected normal return which is scheduled by the Ministry of Interior on 29 this month. Many questions are worthy to be asked in this context. How will people’s behavior be on normal return? Will life return as it was? Will numbers of this pandemic cases be lower than the previous period or increase as a result of contact that didn’t exist at the times of lockdown? Will people look for lifestyles other than those that they lived before?
Ministries which are concerned with the citizen’s health, security and daily work start to draw practical and preventive track in the meantime for the method of return, and asked that works be practiced gradually with application of the precautionary measures that the Ministry of Health always reminds us of them.
In spite of the happiness expressed by people after announcement of gradual return, this happiness my turn into black nightmare for society in case people ignore or disregard the guiding steps to reduce the rates of infection in society. The slogan of confidence in behavior of citizen and resident is the umpire on this side. When official authorities raise this slogan, they believe that community members were trustworthy and performed their roles as required in the past period and felt the danger of this pandemic that spread throughout the world. Therefore, those who succeeded during the past period can continue with this success in presence and the following steps that enhance the slogan of trust in community members.
As it said, ball remains in the community field. By its members, the first stage succeeds, and they can proceed with the same approach in the hope of control of this virus.
It is sure that the world will not approach the same life that society lived before spread of this pandemic. The lesson is that this virus managed to change the behaviors and traditions of people to the better. Attention to life style, including accommodation and manner of living and even in terms of nutritional and behavioral perspectives will be different from before, and many people will start to review their lifestyles periodically and look for comfort, happiness and health security in the meantime.
