Do you believe the pandemic is over? [View all]

Do you still wear your mask?

It seems most people believe that it is over?

However, I read that the number of cases last week exceeded those of the week before?

There is a great desire in the country for things to return to normal.

The trauma of the last few years, not just the last year, has taken its toll on everybody.

Are all of the hopes premature?
