A different world
The coronavirus pandemic has completely changed the planet.
From North to South America, passing through Africa to the most developed countries in Asia and Europe. Covid-19 has transformed habits the world over and imposed some common rules. Faces masks, the topic on everybody’s lips, has wiped the smiles off many faces.
Covid-19 has become the most global virus in history. Not only due to the fact that it is known about on a worldwide scale, its virality and contagion capacity, but also because there is no remote corner of the planet that has not suffered from its consequences. Face masks, distancing, sanitizer gels, PCR tests, restricted timetables… Nobody has escaped from adapting to the so-called ‘new normality.’

An unusual image. Most countries do not allow the public to enter the stadiums, the players cannot greet each other and in each game even the goal posts are disinfected.
