Starting on March 18, the Czech Republic government declared a state of emergency and all schools, shops and public places were closed.
Before May 25, the Czech government ordered citizens only to leave their house under the circumstances to go to work, grocery shop or meet with the family. Most importantly, citizens were only allowed to be in public spaces while wearing a face mask or be fined a maximum 10,000 Kč ($412.57).
Natalia authentically captured the Czechs' fight against the coronavirus. The photo-documentary displays citizens in solidarity wearing homemade face masks while adapting to the governments guidelines.
The song “DEJ SI ROUŠKU ft. Nikol Štíbrová” by the artist Mirai expresses how Czech society is handling COVID-19.
