“This is not forever. It is for now.”—Dr. Bonnie Henry

Henry said that in the weeks to come we need to start thinking about how we are going to open up our personal circles, “we have to do that thoughtfully,” said Henry. Mentioning that we need to think about everyone in our lives that we may affect if they were to catch the virus, and continue to stay away from them.

She highlights that while we are not at the point of going back to normal just yet, we need to begin wrapping our heads around how we personally will move forward in our new normal once the time comes.
