Day 1 of Quarantine
Updated: Mar 22, 2020
Arrival in RIX, border control, COVID-19 check and star of the quarantine.
My wife and I arrived safely in Latvia before they shut down the borders. Shocked at how relaxed border controls are towards screening of travellers for Corona virus. We went into self imposed 14 weeks quarantine as per goverment instructions.
Today I slept late, woke up n reminded myself that I left Greece for real. I guess it's sinking in that this disease really kills people. I had breakfast, took bath, went back to bed n Googled bout latest news back home n on the world.
It's sinking in that even black people can become infected, so I rather play it safe. Spending rest of day in bed writing and reading news. If Nelson Mandela survived 27 years in prison on Robben island, I should manage 14 days.
I feel disappointed on how the EU can't seem to handle Corona virus crisis. I sink into my lazy day, taking it easy n enjoying sunshine through window. 13 more days to go.
