Some people are quite happy that because of the pandemic, it is acceptable not to go out of the house for weeks and just not to talk to people. However, not being able to see close friends and family members is really hard, because you want to keep yourself and them safe, but at the same time, you miss them too. It is especially hard to keep in touch with the older relatives, because maybe not all of them have internet or can use smartphones and until now, it wasn’t a problem because you just could turn up on their doorstep.
