We’ve had to change a lot about our behaviors and routines during the pandemic. Huggers can no longer give hugs, hand sanitizer is now just as necessary as your house keys if leaving home. We tiptoe around people at the grocery store when we finally head out for the necessities. COVID-19 has scarred a lot of us and chances are, many will change their ways once this is over. So, what kind of person will you be after the pandemic?
Will you maintain the safety precautions you’ve been following for months, or will you toss them to the wind and resume giving free hugs? Is hand-shaking going to return to the business world, or will you bow instead? Take the quiz to find out who you’ll be after the pandemic.

The Sanitizer
Whether hand sanitizer has been an essential prior to the pandemic or you've turned into a heavy hand sanitizer user during your time social distancing, you're probably going to maintain that habit of keeping it with you. You may have a huge collection anyway or various scents and colors to go with your mood or the season. Why not keep using them? Perhaps those travel sanitizers will continue to be just as important as your phone or house keys when leaving the house. You can never be too safe, right?

The Cautious Host
You used to throw fun get-togethers at home or meet up with a group of friends often. But once the pandemic ends, you may be a little wary about inviting large groups to get together at once. You'll miss those days of having the whole gang together, but you know you'll never be comfortable amung bigger groups again. At least - not for a long time. And that's okay. Better to be safe than sorry.

You're ready to get back into the swing of things and will most-likely fully embrace the "norm" as soon as possible. Not much about your behavior will change during the pandemic.

The Social Distancer
When the pandemic ends, you'll continue to be careful. COVID-19 will still be around - of course, there will hopefully be either a vaccine, cure, or medication to ease the symptoms. But you're not taking any chances so early. You'll continue to practice social distancing for a long time and try not to go out as much as you had before. Grocery trips and visits to stores will be few and far between. You believe it's better to be safe than sorry - which is great!
