As the pandemic seems nowhere close to an end, experts say people need to adapt to the changes brought on by COVID-19, CNN reported. "Things are most likely never going 'back to normal'," CNN quoted experts as saying.

Experts believe masks, physical distancing, people spending very little time at grocery shops, disappearing handshakes and embracing would become the new normal. "Politicians who pretend that 'normal' is just around the corner are fooling themselves or their followers, or perhaps both," CNN quoted Thomas Davenport, the president's distinguished professor of information technology and management at Babson College in Wellesley as saying.
