This article aims to interpret the COVID 19 pandemic and its consequences for now from a sociological perspective by throwing light on the prominent issues about the social impact of the corona virus. Among plenty of social issues which have gained a significant amount of attention during this global crisis, “inequality”, “revival of social values”, and “changes in daily life spaces” have been chosen as the core research topics of this article. These three social issues are handled in the framework of their existence through the coronavirus pandemic and their relation to the new normal social life is highlighted.
