Mexico is reopening museums and cinemas in the capital after months of lockdown with face masks and social distancing as the new normal
Mexico has reopened museums and cinemas in the capital after months of lockdown, with face masks and social distancing having become the new normal for culture vultures in a city still battling the coronavirus.
Fewer than 200 people entered its doors on the first day after reopening, compared with around 2,000 before the pandemic, a museum employee said.Feel safer and happier"Now you can have the opportunity to balance your emotions a bit and feel safer and happier," said Maria Elena Diaz, a 33-year-old psychologist.
At the newly disinfected Cineteca Nacional, popular with aficionados of art house and foreign movies, most of the seats were marked as reserved to ensure social distancing. Like elsewhere in the city, temperature checks, antibacterial gel and face masks are de rigueur as authorities try to prevent the spread of a virus that has claimed nearly 55,000 lives across the country.Cinema worker Gustavo Angel Oropeza Alvarez, 21, takes the temperature of a man arriving at the Cinepolis movie theaters in Forum Buenavista mall, in Mexico City, Wednesday, August 12, 2020.
“I was here on the last day the theaters were open and here I am on the first day they opened again," said Alamillo. “I can't live without the cinema.”
