Changing the pattern of recreational activities in the shadow of Corona / Azam Bahrami

If we want to continue to abide by the rules of life while considering our own and our loved ones’ health, and accept changes in our social and personal interactions and continue to respect them, we have certainly changed many of our habits and life plans by force. Do you know some of your acquaintances who still have sports or swimming in their daily schedule? Can they participate in family gatherings? Do they travel or still have an interest in watching movies and theater in cinema and theater halls? In many countries around the world, many people’s habits in leisure and spending free time have changed forever.
Entertaining, tempting, and destructive.
Due to the pandemic situation, the time spent on online games and entertainment websites has greatly increased. In Italy, there are non-governmental groups that monitor the cycle of money networks with unknown origins and destinations. They track the origin and amount and report it to judicial institutions, parliament representatives, or media outlets. These include anti-mafia or anti-mafia groups active in Italy.
Recently, these groups have presented a report to the parliament of this country and expressed concern about the wealthy income of mafia bosses during the quarantine period through underground betting and gambling websites and sports betting. The report indicates that in the past 20 years, the mafia has never had such a profitable business, and these websites and betting networks can be considered as the second source of income for mafia groups in Europe.

In Europe, with the start of the summer season, film screenings in summer cinemas have increased, but it is mandatory to implement security protocols and often requires you to reserve a seat in advance.
However, the situation for reopening theaters and museums is still very complicated. In Italy, it has been announced that many museums may remain closed forever, as there is no possibility to disinfect all objects and the museum space does not allow for physical distancing for visitors. As a result, many forms of entertainment, such as listening to music and watching movies, and even virtual museums using 3D images have found their way into our living rooms and in front of our computers. Many performers in the fields of theater, music, and dance believe that even with the disappearance or reduction of these restrictions related to health and safety protocols, due to
Individual activities have become
Group trips, group camping in nature, personal parties in gardens and homes, group walks, and anything else that brings a group together for spending time and recreation has become almost impossible due to the current circumstances. This not only limits travel and movement, but also means that people will have to resort to short trips with small backpacks and suitcases.
For cultures where spending time with family, friends, and acquaintances is a normal occurrence, these restrictions may seem very sad. Can traveling and spending time in nature with selected friends or acquaintances whom we trust with their health be a suitable solution? In any case, our parties, birthdays, weddings, and mourning ceremonies have found a new and different form that shows signs of continuing.
Statistics show that more people are turning to buying stamps, coins, special houseplants, or taking care of pets, or playing computer games.
