Senegal and Argentina sound nice right about now. How are the Covid restrictions?
When I arrived back in April there was quite some stuff I had to do to get into the country. They were officially closed but with some special papers and authorization I could get in (proof of relationship etc).
Back then there were less restrictions than in Netherlands. Bars and restaurants etc were open, and then they had to change into take away only for just 2 weeks… kind of a rollercoaster with restrictions during that time but it was not that bad.
Right now everything seems normal, just a face mask outside and inside places but everything else is normal. People do wear there mask, but mostly underneath their nose. Last week it was around 38 degrees (spring just started), and I many people didn’t wear their mask. I tried to keep on wearing it but at some point when there are not that many people I just.. took it off. Can’t wear it with such hot weather! (Imagine during summer, will be around 47 degrees or so). But I wear it most of the times, except when it’s that hot and there are not that many people around.
In Buenos Aires you don’t need a mask anymore, but in some other provinces (like Córdoba, where I am) they still decided to keep the protocol.
Most people are vaccinated here with AstraZeneca, Moderna, Sinopharm and Sputnik. So they’re doing great.
Life feels normal again, very happy about that. Might travel to Netherlands somewhere in January to visit family again.
