00:00Hello, my name is Marta Moya, I have 24 years old, I'm a journalist.
00:04Now I'm in Málaga, in the south of Spain.
00:07Just four days before the alarm was declared,
00:10and with this, the confinement of the whole population,
00:13I had taken a flight from Barcelona to here,
00:16to my parents' home, and the circumstances have made it to me.
00:48My quarantine, in general, has been quite good.
00:51It's true that the first days or weeks were a bit more complicated,
00:55because suddenly, from one day to the other, the life stopped.
01:00We passed from 100 to 0, from the night to the morning,
01:03we put plans in suspense,
01:06trips that they had to cancel without a day,
01:08and that was a bit more complicated to assimilate and to manage all those emotions.
01:27After having to deal with massive numbers of deaths and deaths,
01:32that were growing exponentially,
01:34being so close to the reality and the actuality,
01:37that makes you feel much more aware of the uncertainty that the pandemic was acquired.
01:43To receive a couple of bad news in personal,
01:47from people very close to me,
01:49has been terrible.
01:50And, above all, it's also being to be far away from my parents.
01:54They live to more than 800 kilometers from where we are now.
01:58They are very small, very vulnerable,
02:01and we don't know when we will be able to embrace them,
02:04and that's what's been one of the worst things that the pandemic has left for me.
02:16For the contrary, there have been very productive days,
02:19I've started other projects in remote, with colleagues and journalists,
02:23we haven't stopped because being active is one of the best things we can do
02:28to not lose the head and keep on the ground,
02:31and in general, the quarantine has been good.
02:36In my case, it has been 54 days,
02:38and it has served for me to know more about myself,
02:41to know what are my capacities, my limits,
02:43and also to spend a little bit more time with my parents and my brother,
02:47that in the last year and a half,
02:48I couldn't have been able to see much for issues academic and labor.
02:53The phase zero includes, as you know, some measures of relief,
02:57that have already entered in order, like the exit of children and children,
03:00the walks or physical exercise in the street,
03:02and it also includes other measures of very limited
03:05of some public establishments that will enter in order this same month.
03:09From the last 2nd of May, the government authorized the exit
03:12for the exercise of sports activities
03:14or to go to travel for the whole population.
03:18I was on the 3rd of May, one day later,
03:21and the first feeling was a bit strange,
03:23because, when I was having so many days at home,
03:25simply the fact that I had to cross with people
03:27was a little strange, but it was a relief
03:30and almost a gift after so many weeks.
03:33Also, the government, in parallel, has developed a plan of desescalation
03:37and transition to the new normalcy,
03:41which is established in four phases,
03:43from a phase zero preparatory to a phase three avanzada,
03:46in which they are going to remove restrictions
03:49to the mobility, to the economy and to the social activity.
03:53And this 11th of May, the half of Spain,
03:57will be able to get to the phase one,
03:59in which they will be able to reunir with 10 friends
04:01or 10 family members,
04:03and they will be able to go to the terrace,
04:05to a bar, to take a beer or a coffee.
04:08In the case of Málaga, where I am now,
04:10we still haven't completed the criteria
04:12and the indicators that establishes the change of phase.
04:15Therefore, we will be able to remain
04:17at least one week more in this phase zero,
04:20whose maximum freedom is that,
04:23to go to a little bit of sport
04:24or to go to a little bit of hair
04:27with a previous day and a little bit more.
04:29About the future, there is much uncertainty
04:32and little certainty.
04:33That is what we have clear today.
04:36Once reached the new normalcy,
04:38the government has said that
04:39to regulate or to normalize the social activity
04:43and economic activity,
04:45but they will continue to maintain
04:46the norms of social distancing
04:48at least until there is a treatment
04:50or a vaccine,
04:52which evidently will not be a normalcy.
04:54So, there is uncertainty,
04:57especially in the labor plan,
04:59and it is complicated, it is complicated.
05:05And so on the epidemic of Spain,
05:07I doubt that I am going to give a lot of advice
05:09to the epidemic of Colombia,
05:11but what truly has proven to be effective
05:14are the measures of social distancing and hygiene,
05:18especially to reduce the transmission of the virus
05:21and also to enhance the public health system.
05:25Here in Spain, after the economic crisis of 2008,
05:30the public health system was deteriorated
05:32by the economic cuts
05:34and today, in plena pandemic,
05:35it has become essential to save lives
05:38and cure a lot of people who have gone wrong.
05:40So, to Colombia,
05:43there is a lot of excitement
05:43and we will go, of course,
05:45we will go.
05:46Let's enjoy this company nation.
05:51Let's enjoy this company nation.
05:54Let's enjoy this company nation.
05:54One last time.
05:55I gotta be patient.
05:58Let's enjoy this company nation.
06:06Shine.
