Life Before Coronavirus

Life was very different before the outbreak of coronavirus, and people took their way of life for granted. Day-to-day life was full of enormous economic pressures, but people were free to work in the fields or at markets, and to spend whatever leisure time they had outside the home, whether it was a walk on a city street, a moment of music on the beach or marking the traditions of rural life. These images offer a small reminder of what life was like before the pandemic.
