On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Covid-19 a global pandemic. What followed were many months of lockdowns, remote teaching, furlough, social distancing, frequent testing, and the rollout of vaccines.
Ahead of the fifth anniversary of the WHO declaration, we would like to hear how things have changed for you over the last few years since the pandemic. Are you still experiencing difficulty following the closing of your shop or business, or have you had to take out a business loan? Perhaps your children are still struggling from not going into school during the lockdowns? Have you noticed behavioural changes in yourself since the pandemic?
Are there any aspects of the pandemic that have changed your life for the better? Perhaps you were able to save money during the lockdowns, or have been prioritising your health more than you did before the pandemic? Or maybe you made lifestyle changes such as working part time, working from home or moving out of a large town or city? Tell us how the pandemic affected your life.
