The report divided the future of the crisis into three phases, the first in which the threat of the epidemic will continue until 2022, when it will be necessary for people to wear masks, avoid crowded places and travel.
The newspaper said that with the start of vaccine distribution, or the arrival of “herd immunity,” people will continue to recover from the comprehensive health, psychological, social and economic shock of the epidemic until 2024 (intermediate period).
And then after 2024, the post-pandemic period will begin when things will gradually return to “normal”, albeit with some ongoing changes.
The report predicted that some work environment practices that occurred during the epidemic will continue into the post-pandemic period, such as the provision of health care via the Internet, which was strongly encouraged during the epidemic period, with the aim of preventing the overcrowding of stone care centers and reducing the pressure on doctors, such as caring for pregnant women via telephone, for those whose pregnancy does not require special care, minor skin problems and psychiatric services.

Likewise, the period of abstention from mixing with people with the outbreak of the epidemic will be followed by a great desire of the people “to seek opportunities to socialize on a larger scale at sporting events, concerts and political gatherings.”
The report indicates that the epidemic has revealed the need for basic and low-wage workers, and laws that give them a better life are likely to be adopted in the post-epidemic period, such as granting them paid sick and family leave and adopting schedules. more flexible work.
One of the effects of the pandemic may be that society begins to take academics and science seriously, according to the report, which indicates that in the Middle Ages, the apparent inability of rulers, priests, doctors and others in positions of Power to control the plague led people to lose confidence in political institutions.
