I am a Frontline Worker in my country, Bhutan. I am not boosting what I did but I am sharing my experience as frontline worker.

Bhutan closed its border to the world from end of March. There was no lockdown but mentally management tried to develop protocol for incase we went into lockdown. There were many restrictions like closing of shops by 7pm and later on shifted to 10pm. Night club continued to remain close. School were closed for months and started from 1st July onwards.

Still import and export continued but in restricted mode. And all activities in the country were restricted. Tourism sector came to halt like all other nation and many lost their job. Instantly there were grand scheme setup for them. Many house owner waved of rent form 10% to 100%, some even gave money to the tenant who were badly affected.

Altho, just next to our border many new cases for Covid kept rising. We continue to move forward with life. Just then a case came up out side quarantine facility and nation was forced to forced to go into lockdown on 11th August, 2020 to stop community spread.

First two days it was not easy even after long planning because it was still sudden, without any warning. People were out of stock and they had nothing to eat. Instantly extraordinary grand came into effect for those who had no money to buy essential items. And moment of people was restricted to 0 except incase of emergency and the Frontliner. I am happy that 99.9% co-operated with the do's & don't. We came up with home delivery services and making sure that non sleep empty stomach. We even feed street dogs, who are totally dependent us.

It has been 21 Days now and from tomorrow onwards some relaxation will begin which might take around 10Days more, small baby steps. Expect for high risked are which will be on observation for next few day and then relaxation plan will be implemented.

Thank You to my fellow Frontliner who had tiring day not just for this 21 Days but from the beginning for Border sealing. And who will continue to guard as I will be withdrawing from days and joining back to my regular office.
