Upholding the strict quarantine/isolation rules, social distancing, respiratory and hand hygiene, and wearing the protective masks is important for the future. Physical distancing while keeping regular contacts with family members and friends will help with maintaining psychosocial wellbeing and morale. Physical distancing is needed during uncontrolled outbreaks, when contagion rate, the risk of an epidemic, and the case-fatality rates of confirmed cases are high. Though compliance may differ from culture to culture and nation to nation, the countermeasures are seemingly effective in reducing the viral spread from asymptomatic carriers or from patients to healthy individuals. For example, face-masking reportedly efficiently protects against SARS-CoV-2 transmission.20 We admit that any recommendation in controlling the pandemic should be based on growing evidence experienced by different nations. We propose that the restrictive countermeasures should continue for at least 8–12 months until normal social activities can phase in. Even afterwards, the rules of social/physical distancing, frequent handwashing, respiratory hygiene, and face-masking will remain utterly critical. The compliance with such measures should be encouraged through public education and awareness campaigns to ensure such behavioral, habitual, and cultural changes into the future.
