might be a part of the new normal

It look like the number of new COVID-19 cases is slowly going down in Europe.
The state of emergency has been lifted in Japan. What is it like in your countries?
In Australia, they are easing the lockdown gradually. Shops and restaurants are reopening.
People are going back to work here, but some want to keep working remotely.
Working from home might be part of the "new normal" after this.
In the U.S., there were protests against the lockdown. They thought it wasn't necessary.
Oh, wow! Well, I read some good news that there are lots of vaccines in development.
I hope a vaccine comes out soon, so I can give you all big hugs!
