There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has put a hold on the lives of almost everyone irrespective of plans which have been put in place for the year 2020.

The pandemic has affected schools, corporate organizations, entrepreneurs, traders and the likes. This for sure will leave a long lasting mark on our lives.

One major effect the pandemic will have on people is improved virtual communication. Organizations have resolved to making use of online apps such as teams and zoom in carrying out meetings and they also have no choice but to trust their staff to work from home.

Schools also are making use of these apps to have online classes with students and business men and women have found it very necessary to have their businesses on social media. The chances of these mediums being used after the pandemic is high because people are getting to realise that you do not need to meet physically with anyone to get tasks done.

Although people have started communicating virtually, jobs are done slower than normal because we are not used to the system yet.

People are also likely to loose their jobs after the pandemic, especially those working with private organizations because it will take a while to recover the lost days and they may not have enough to cater for a large number of staff.

There is also likely to be a hike in the price of everything because the pandemic has greatly affected the economy of the country.

This period has kept everyone on their toes, to strategize and make plans in order to survive, also to come out of the usual and try new ways of doing things. One thing is sure though, things will never be the same.
