COVID-19: A Pandemic That Challenges Everything

Nothing is the same as it used to be. The global coronavirus health crisis has led to an almost total upheaval, and the acute crisis we are currently experiencing is a major shock to society.

Lockdowns, curfews, activity restrictions, working from home, childcare… The emergence and ongoing presence of COVID-19 in our lives have required us to adapt, brought about transitions, and caused profound changes. The social impacts are numerous and multifaceted, and some will likely be long-lasting.
