At the beginning of 2020, concepts such as “travel bans,” “quarantine,” “social distancing,” “lockdown” and “mandatory mask usage,” were undefined to us. Today, they are a significant part of our everyday lives as COVID-19 continues to impact on every aspect of our lives. Since recently, various vaccinations have been developed and beginning to be adopted.
