Stop Covid-19! We all want to leave this crisis behind as soon as possible. But as eager as we are to restart our social and economic lives, to do so, we must give prime focus to public health. Knowing all this, which social, economic and public health scenarios should we reasonably plan for, and what is the solution? To stop Covid-19, and to stay safe, we of course all need to follow social distancing, stay at home as much as is possible, wear masks and use sanitizers. But through this artwork, I am saying we also all need to be shouting to both ourselves and each other, “STOP COVID-19! STAY AWAY CORONAVIRUS!”
