The Faces of Quarantine-One Virus Many Faces
A Filipina from Dubai talks about her fears, hopes and message for our quarantined world- Mary Magdalyn Inocencio Muyco
I feel anxious because when I hear the news about the virus, they say it’s very contagious. But I still try to stay hopeful and believe that God will never leave us in this situation, and He will make everything okay. I have a very strong faith and it keeps me strong and grounded.
This quarantine has altered my daily life in terms of being less active, but now I am taking better care of myself. I am trying to stay healthy and have a positive out look. I live in Dubai, and the government is working very hard to keep the city clean. They want to make sure that the virus doesn’t spread, and everything is being appropriately disinfected. People here are being cautious, respectful and practicing social distancing, home quarantine, washing their hands regularly, using masks, applying sanitizers etc.
My message to the rest of the world is that we are all in this together, so be kind and love each one another. Be a role model for others by following government rules and regulations in preventing the spread of this virus. Be careful and vigilant for the things that might cause you or your loved ones to become sick.
