On 13 March 2020, the president of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, declared a nationwide state of emergency for 15 days, which extended to a total of 3 months. All citizens were mandated to remain in their normal residence except to purchase food and medicines, work, attend emergencies, or walk the dog. These photos may seem normal to us these days, but, I hope, in the future when my baby daughter has grown up we can look at these pictures and they will seem strange to her that we all had to wear masks and lived in fear of catching the Coronavirus 19.

El 13 de març de 2020, el president d'Espanya, Pedro Sánchez, va declarar l'estat d'emergència a tot el país durant 15 dies, que es va estendre fins a un total de 3 mesos.Tots els ciutadans tenien l'obligació de romandre a la seva residència normal, excepte per comprar menjar i medicaments, treballar, assistir a urgències o passejar el gos. Aquestes fotos ens poden semblar normals en aquests dies, però, espero, en el futur quan la meva filla hagi crescut poguem mirar aquestes imatges i li semblaran estrany que tots haguéssim de portar màscares per por del coronavirus 19.

Estas fotos pueden parecernos normales en estos días, pero espero que en el futuro, cuando mi hija pequeña haya crecido, podamos ver estas fotos y le parezca extraño que todos tuviéramos que usar mascarillas y viviéramos con el miedo a contraer el Coronavirus 19.

The state of alarm expired at midnight of Sunday 21 June, and Spain entered a "new normality" phase, in which restrictions such as maximum occupancy in shops are handled by each autonomous community independently. At the state level, the government maintained the obligation to wear masks in public transportation and all other places where a minimum distance of 1.5 meters cannot be maintained; the government also opened all internal borders among autonomous communities as well as the land border with France, and resumed international flights with other European Union countries and the United Kingdom.
