We are fortunate enough to live in an era where physical distancing does not inevitably mean isolation. Myriad innovative solutions have sprung up to replace normal interactions, both in and out of the workplace.
These exemplars should be built on. Extra efforts must be made to reach vulnerable populations such as the elderly, undocumented immigrants, and homeless populations who may not have easy access to digital tools, as well as those who were already experiencing mental illness, depression or loneliness prior to the pandemic. Furthermore, it is essential to develop and maintain routines, even if they have been switched to digital, for example for children and students learning without physical interaction.
