Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak recently was one of the most dangerous crises the world has faced in the 21st century and has affected entire countries of the world at all levels. The researchers aim to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social activities and the social interaction of individuals, where the greatest impact of COVID-19 emerged clearly in the social life of individuals and affected their social activities. In addition to the remarkable manifestations of COVID-19 in social terms such as the imposition of curfew, the imposition of full closure at specific hours, and the imposition of social distancing, lately the dependence was on virtual communication among individuals. Thus, social activities have almost become non-existent. Therefore, researchers will attempt in this chapter to give suitable suggestions that may increase real social activities instead of virtual activities.
