However, people are also eager to resume their lives, to go back to the one before the virus,’’ said Solene Paillet, marketing director of Gleeden, in a press release.
“We also ran surveys across the community to investigate future behaviours and the majority of respondents would like to physically meet the people they met on Gleeden.
