The pandemic has prompted immediate changes in daily life, from the proliferation of handwashing stations in public parks to the widespread adoption of glass office dividers and foot-operated doors. Companies are exploring innovations such as gloves that cleanse hands or toys designed for home learning, signaling a shift in how humans adapt to health concerns.
