‘Aquel verano raro’

Sandra Casillas|

Este proyecto fotográfico muestra diferentes momentos de la vida cotidiana en Barcelona capturados durante el verano de 2021, mientras estábamos inmersos en la quinta ola de la covid-19. Pese a que el aumento de la población vacunada permitió una reapertura parcial al turismo todavía se apreciaban las medidas requeridas para controlar la pandemia, como el uso de la mascarilla en espacios públicos o el distanciamiento social. Esta serie se enfoca en las huellas que dejó la pandemia, en esos instantes en los que se percibe la soledad en las calles, la calma de los espacios prácticamente vacíos y el anhelo de un ayer que todavía no llegaba

Ministry of Health community health officer Salamatu Deen Kamara and MSF community health officer George Kamara examining 1 month old Wilson who was brought to the MSF supported mpox treatment centre in Calaba town, Freetown, Sierra Leone. Wilson was brought to the treatment centre by his mother and was 2 weeks old when she noticed lesions on his skin. Fatima, mother of 1 month old baby Wilson [Name changed]. “I woke up one morning and I found a few swollen bumps on my baby’s skin. Then he had a fever, so I took him to the centre in my community where I gave birth to him. He got sick in May, and he was only 2 weeks old then. At the centre, they told me it’s just a rash and gave me a paste to put on his skin. I used this paste for a few days and then I went to the centre for his under-five vaccination card. When I was there a nurse noticed that the rash had spread to his foot, so they decided to test for mpox. They took a sample and sent us home and the next day, I got a phone call and they told me my baby was positive with mpox. They told me they are working with the Ministry of Health, and they want to come to my house to give the vaccine to the people I live with and my neighbours. I live with my mum and sisters in a compound apartment in the west of Freetown. I was happy when the health workers came to my house to give the vaccine wearing normal clothes. They did not look like health care workers so a lot of people in my community don’t know that my baby has mpox. Only my close neighbours who got the vaccine knows. I was worried that they will be scared of me and the baby. They brough me and my baby to the treatment centre in Calaba town and the health workers are looking after him. I am not sure what will happen next. I am scared. He is so small, and he is my only child. I have given birth to two children before but they both died when they were just babies. I am very confused how he got sick. Nobody in the house is sick, only the baby.’
