Helsinki During Covid-19 Lockdown

in hive-174578 •  5 years ago 

Since the midnight between Friday and Saturday the Uusimaa county - in which Helsinki is located - was being isolated from the rest of Finland: no one without a legit reason (like work) can't go in or out of the region. The isolation, which is being reinforced by police on roadblocks, is supposed to last until 19th of April. I happen to live within the given region, however, it doesn't have too big of an impact on my regular life since I don't wonder off my close surroundings that often, but it'll mean that for a few weeks I won't be able to meet few friends who are studying outside the region.

Despite the recommended instructions to avoid any unnecessary moving in public places me and @rrusina dared to defy this, because she found a used dog bathtub that was on sale by another dog owner, the carrying of which I gave a helping hand in. However, we had another not so useless reason to go out: to collect some xp for @rrusina's new puppy who should be introduced to as many experiences as possible from early age so she will get used to the transportation, for example. Another motive was to capture the semi-desolated surroundings in Helsinki. It was a Saturday afternoon which definitely would've not been as quiet if it wasn't for corona.
