Today, February 14, is Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is a day recognized around the world which celebrates love, making it a popular day for couples to spend together. Valentine’s Day is traditionally associated with red hearts, romance, flowers, candy or other sweet things, and the exchange of cards or messages that express love. However now Valentine’s Day is not restricted to just lovers. It can also mean love between family members, friends, neighbours and anyone who is close to one’s heart. This year the day is being celebrated when we are in the midst of the pandemic. Besides showing one’s love, it is also necessary to show that we care for the other person’s wellbeing. Hence besides all the flowers, candy, red hearts that we gift on Valentine’s Day, it would be in the fitness of things to also present a mask to the one you love to show that you also care for the person’s wellbeing. It will send a strong message on the need to wear a mask to keep one safe during the pandemic.
