Port Louis, 1 March: 2020 was been a challenging year. The COVID-19 pandemic brought incessant news of new cases and deaths locally and internationally. The lockdown announced by the Prime Minister of Mauritius took effect from the 19 March 2020. We all had to adapt to the new normal. I started working from home.
Prior to the lockdown, I would wake up at 6 a.m., do my morning routine and drive for approximately an hour to the office. After work as from 17.30 till 20.30, I would attend my Masters class during the week and drive back. I have always been on the move. Finding myself confined at home for almost three months was hard.
