Adjusting to life during COVID.

 July is coming to an end and COVID-19 is going on to what seems to be an eternity, the coronavirus pandemic has impacted many lives, mentally, physically and emotionally. As the numbers in cases spike it seems that almost everyone can say that they have known someone that has contracted the virus. We all know that COVID- 19 spreads like wild fire and stay at home orders were put in place to limit your exposure and highly recommended by government and state officials.

As months pass we have seen stay at home orders lifted, businesses close and reopen with limitations, and outdoor activities close and reopen. As we all tried to adjust to the new norm the number of cases increased, so we were back to square one but not as restricted., Well, this is just our opinion but staying home had such an impact on everyone that the moment that they got some normalcy – people were eager to get out – which we understand. Which is what lead us to write this blog for you in hopes to help you stay as safe as possible while out in public.
