The COVID-19 pandemic is making adjustments to the lives of the countries. To curb the spread of the virus, the countries introduce quarantines, limit border crossings, and prohibit some activities. These measures cause the economic crisis to deepen further. An important question for governments is how to quickly adapt social norms to the new reality? If, after the quarantine is lifted, the virus spreads again rapidly, as was the recent case in China, confidence in the government will be waning and, with the worsening economic crisis, a political crisis may arise.
