My name is Alice and I am 10 years old.  In August 2019 I moved from New York to Tuscany in Italy because of my Dad\u2019s job.  I miss my friends in New York and its very different here, less busy.  But I also like the fact that we have a much bigger house. Last Christmas, I went to England to see my grandparents, my uncles and my cousins.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 29, 2020, Italy detected and isolated its first case of COVID-19. The next day, the country\u2019s leader, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, declared a state of emergency for six months.\u00a0 So, what does this mean to Alice?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past four weeks, I have not been to a school building.  I have done most of my lessons on my iPad and attended some classes virtually.  School starts at 8:30 and I need to log into my classes at that time.  Some days, I finish school at 3:30.  But on many days, the teachers set us activities that we can do in the afternoon and I do these with my parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t always like school, but now I miss school very much\u2014especially the new friends that I have made.  We speak on our social media, but it\u2019s not the same as enjoying time learning with real people.  I don\u2019t always like to see my friends on a computer when I can\u2019t play with them.  We are being told that we might go back to school in May and I\u2019m really excited about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the fun things that I am doing on my iPad is creating an online exhibition about endangered animals.\u00a0 I am identifying the problem and finding a sustainable solution for it, like using less plastics or recycling more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t like the lockdown, but I think that it is a good idea because it helps to stop the spread of the virus.  We can only go out once a day and that is for a very short walk.  There are police in the streets, and you have to have identification on you when you go out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only one person from my family can go to the shops to buy food.  My grandparents live in England and I know that there has been lots of people buying food in bulk and I\u2019ve seen the news reports that there have been empty shelves in supermarkets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We watch the news and there are so many people dying in Italy which is very sad. The news reports say that we have the highest number of deaths in Europe*.  I hope that the coronavirus stops soon so that no more people will die and that I can get back to school and life can return to normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*On April 6 the death toll in Italy was 16,523.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
