Switzerland. Canton Ticino. Lugano. Two friends walk at nighttime on the road. An antique sculpture with no head stands by the entrance of a building. Due to the spread of the coronavirus (also called Covid-19), the Federal Council has categorised the situation in the country as “extraordinary”. It has issued a recommendation to all citizens to stay at home, especially the sick and the elderly. From March 16 the government ramped up its response to the widening pandemic, ordering the closure of bars, restaurants, sports facilities and cultural spaces. 8.05.2020 © 2020 Didier Ruef
