Today our lockdown was relaxed a bit . Ours has been set at 4 levels. We had 5 weeks at level 4 - staying home. The supermarkets and pharmacies were open for essential visits, nothing else. No restaurants, takeaways, post offices or shops. No travel allowed.
Today is our first at level 3 - now we can do online shopping and get home delivered or take away food. We are not allowed into shops yet, but can click and collect items. Businesses can open if they can work without face to face customers. Our airports are shut and we still can't travel between cities.
Mum is going to go get some groceries tomorrow and have a look around. It will be strange to see more people out and about.
She heard on the news that our restrictions were almost the tightest in the world, that Italy had the most. I guess only time will tell and the world leaders and scientists will learn lessons from this crisis.
Mum is looking forward to seeing her friends again and sharing a meal out with them.

Let us hope that loosing the restrictions help people feel less
ReplyDeleteisolated. But that your country does not see any new spike in
covid 19. We here do not see any thing changing for a while yet.
Went out this morn, mask and gloves and shopped for the first time
in 5 weeks at Walmart. Still no toilet paper or sanitizer or gloves.
Thank goodness I had enough here before this even happened. You look
lovely as always, Poppy, in the sun and a new spot to rest in.
Here in the States, it hasn't been as strict, and even with that, people can't seem to stick to the rules. No wonder the virus is running rampant here.
ReplyDeleteperfect spot for Poppy, funny how the cats seem to claim things.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad your mum got to sleep in. That looks like a purrfect spot for you Poppy. We are happy they are lowering the restrictions step by step as things are hopefully getting better. Thanks for the share. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Poppy, dear, it's good your mum is catching up on her sleep. We hope she isn't experiencing the "epidemic" of nightmares so many are reporting. Also hoping that the relaxed restrictions make shopping easier but that folks obey the rules. Here in the States we're having a problem with that.
ReplyDeleteYour counry has been so vigilant and planful with its approach, Poppy. And the citizens there have been very cooperative. We wish people here would do the same.
ReplyDeleteI think the whole world is hoping you have a successful reentry into an open country.
ReplyDeleteI think your country will benefit from the severe rules imposed. It probably helps, too, that yours is an island nation. Let’s hope you won’t have to go through this ever again.
