As our curve is flattening it is, now far more important to keep this momentum going and follow all the SOPs laid down. By keeping our distance and avoiding crowded areas on Eid, we are not only saving ourselves but also those around us. Certainly Eid-ul-Adha won’t be the same in 2020 however, human nature is all about adaptability and resilience.
Let us brighten your Eid by bringing you a few ideas on how you can celebrate Eid virtually with your special ones.
- Staying Connected. There’s no need to feel isolated this Eid, as you can always stay connected with your loved ones. All you need is an internet connection and you can celebrate Eid from anywhere in Pakistan and even with your family who are abroad and are unable to travel due to the pandemic. With PTCL, you can make new memories this Eid and still be festive and keep traditions alive.
