Since the covid-19 pandemic, social distance and blockades have changed and restricted people’s family activities, and some patterns of behaviour in families are changing, and in the post-pandemic we examine new relationships and more possible hybrid patterns for families in this context. Vitra focuses on how the family unit can better interact and work with internal relationships in a variety of contexts. The epidemic not only brings people far apart, but also brings them closer together, for example, within the family, some family members who do not live regularly may stay for long periods of time due to the epidemic, and many interpersonal and social problems emerge as a result. The pandemic has tested the context of the family in various ways, but it has also led to much reflection so far, and we will find in some extreme and unprecedented situations the existence of problems that were previously overlooked, and in some ways, it is not all bad that comes with a pandemic. It has changed our social structure to a certain extent, causing people to start rethinking their relationships with other people. This relationship is closely linked to social distance, and just as people of different languages think differently, there are subtle influences and changes in our relationships after the unprecedented demands of social distance.
