‘We’re all in this together’: An American under lockdown in Spain, one of the world’s coronavirus hot spots
The entire world appears headed toward a lockdown as more countries work to slow the spread of the coronavirus — which has now infected more than 350,000 people globally and led to more than 15,000 deaths as of Monday afternoon. Countries are closing their borders, shutting down nonessential businesses and encouraging people to keep at least 6 feet apart from one another.
Residents of Spain are coping as best they can with the rules and mandates. One of those people is Giselle Abinader, a HuffPost UX designer who is studying abroad in Barcelona for a master’s degree in design. Being under quarantine in her flat during a pandemic was the last thing Abinader imagined she would have to deal with, she told Yahoo News in a video diary.
Abinader said some grocery stores have security guards outside who look like “bouncers” to enforce strict distancing rules and limit the number of shoppers inside. She said there are markers on the floor to separate shoppers on the checkout line. Small shops and bakeries, a big part of the Spanish culture, allow only one or two customers inside at a time as long lines form outside the stores. A friend of Abinader was ordered to go home by police as she was outside filming a project for class.
