People wore masks and maintained social distancing at several places but some places were left unmanaged. That is a big problem. Governments lifting all the restrictions are not the actual concern, the concern here is the irresponsibility of the citizens.

No government could do anything, if their citizens won’t follow their simple orders which were made only for their health & safety. Let’s wait for someday, if the results come against the decision then it’s better to take action immediately.
