Answer: Symbolic interactionism explain the coronavirus phenomenon via the symbolic COVID-19 masks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that tries to study the interactions of human beings with society through symbols.
For example, the word 'cat' is just a series of letters. However, when we hear the word 'cat' we associate a small animal with a sleek body, distinct eyes, laziness, and a 'meaw' sound.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the widely seen and recognized symbol was the application of facemasks. Hence, the covid-19 face masks here act as the symbol.
Now, when we see a person wearing facemasks we unintentionally are reminded of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Earlier face masks were just ordinarily used but now they symbolically define and describe the Coronovirus phenomenon or the COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
