In the following days, the situation in the city continued to improve. Khosrow was able to buy food every day, and his family no longer lived in fear of starvation. What's more, he occasionally saw a few people roaming the once-deserted streets, offering a small distraction from the boredom.
However, he still did not let down his guard and approch his family members directly. He's not that dumb, going out every day, who could tell how many people he had come into contact with inadvertently? An inconspicuous and unconscious touch of an infected person was all it took for him to be reduced to skin and bones in a matter of a week. In such a situation, how could he come into contact with his family? Fortunately, God was kind, and he had not encountered any symptoms... at least not yet.
