Without a vaccine or cure, dark clouds of the coronavirus pandemic continue to hang heavily all over the world. Government usually sets up relief centers, emergency response centers, advice centers, command centers and all other centers where experts converge and resources are accumulated in centers where the victims are relocated. In the case of the coronavirus pandemic, the exact opposite is the strategy. Millions of people — victims of Covid-19, their loved ones, employees and employers, informal workers, students and teachers, and government officials — seem to be looking forward to a new normal. In transitioning to the new normal, decision-makers must be guided by public health principles, economic realities, and concern for people and society.
