But there are few challenges to be faced before reaching the normal situation. The most important need of the hour is to practice Covid related compliances to reduce the risk for the staff and the customers. Social distancing and one-way systems within facilities are likely to remain for the foreseeable future. One need to be pragmatic and accept that not all emergency best-practice will be temporary.
