Did the pandemic change your lifestyle? How?

We did not change too much our habits. We still wear a mask inside the stores and we do not go to eat out anymore.

We're still wearing masks if we leave the house. I never would have tried wearing a mask to help with my allergies but have found I LIKE not having a runny nose all the time from stuff I'm allergic to. I also lost my job and have applied for disability. I didn't have the time before Covid to go to doctors and find out why I was always feeling sick and now some of those problems have been found and I'm under doctor care for them. There is still the problem of my eyes swelling shut that the doctors can't find a reason for but at least they're trying to figure it out. We don't eat out at all now so I'm cooking most of our meals. We still buy some frozen things so I don't have to cook all the time so that's okay... None of our friends come over and we don't go to their houses, either. I do miss them but I still talk with them on the phone or text with them, though. *sigh* (They won't get the Covid shots so we don't take chances being around them.)

Same. Wear a mask and avoid crowded areas. We avoid going out if not necessary.

I used to wear mask even before pandemic when going to places with dust and pollution. I didn't want my allergies to trigger. I practised all these hygiene measures ( washing and changing after coming home, separate footwears for home etc) even before pandemic. And we were never too much into eating out. Always prefer a simple hot home cooked meal

Yes it has changed me a lot. I still don't touch handles with my hands and like to keep myself away from any dirt

We are still careful. I try to avoid crowded places if I can. And like you, I am sure I take more showers than I ever have, and change my clothing when I return from errands, etc. I've always considered myself a clean and sanitary person, but this has made me aware that I really do not want to be sick with Covid if I can help it. Not to mention I do not want to bring it to my son, who more than likely would not survive it.

Besides wearing a mask where it was required, and not going out to eat, I didn't change anything. I did get a little too comfortable without makeup. Since I was constantly wearing a mask I saw no need to wear any at all. Now that I am mask free I grudgingly wear makeup again, but not nearly as often as before. Is this a weird change to associate with Covid? Absolutely, yes!

Yes, most definitely. I tend to avoid crowds nowadays.

Yes definitely the life style has changed after pandemic. Now we avoid going to the crowded places, we don't go out in the restaurants often unlike we used to go in the past.

Monday was the first time I've eaten in a restaurant since the pandemic. We went for lunch and the place wasn't crowded and we didn't have to sit very close to other people. I tend to stay away from crowded stores and always carry a mask in case I come across a situation where there's a lot of people.

Nothing really changed. I always washed my hands. I live alone, so nothing changed there. I'm glad the mask mandate is over.

after the pandemic I started wearing mask on my way to the university

Yes, the pandemic has changed our lives. I too wear a mask whenever I go out, wash my hands and legs whenever I come home from a walk or from the market or from the doctor.

Apart from the mask wearing nothing has changed much for me. I have always washed my hands frequently and even before covid l never attended crowded events.

I am so used to staying indoors that I do not like going out any more

It did in the way as when I got covid a year ago..I still have lingering illnesses and it has made me have to change my way of doing things.

We still wear our masks too and try to avoid crowds.

We didn't change very much. Just wearing a mask when we had to

I disinfect my hands a lot more often, especially if I shake someone's hand.

For a period, there was a noticeable shift from the usual routine, but recently things have returned to their normal state. However, one aspect remains clear: during the pandemic, there was a time when returning home from work became an unnerving experience, even in broad daylight. Residing in Karachi, often referred to as a "concrete jungle," the streets would appear eerily deserted despite their vastness and the presence of towering buildings. It felt as if I had stepped into a simulated scene from an apocalyptic film.
