NIL MONRÓ: Hello. I'm Nil. I'm 22 years old, and I live in Barcelona. When I arrived to Milan, I saw few people wearing mask. Like, everything was normal-- kisses, and handshakes, and events. But everything changed two days after my arrival. In those moments, people start to wear masks, not using the metro, and these things.
When I come back to Barcelona I was worried a little bit because I felt sick. And the first thing I did was call to the emergency phone because I was feeling some symptoms. Here in Spain, we were concerned about Italy. We were, like, naive to think the virus wouldn't get here.
I decide to talk just not because of my community, but with the press, I was reading some news about people having panic attacks, going to buy a lot of things in the supermarket with no reasons, and I suppose that I could help to make the people feel quiet, to make people feel better.
My message to the people is simple. We should follow three steps. One, stay at home. Two, wash our hands with water and soap. And three, inform himself by official channels.
