During the declaration of the state of alert and after the return of non-essential activity, doubts arise about which type of activities can be carried out online. Below, we give you a short summary of the most relevant ones. With this information you’ll know how to act and what type of services you can benefit from without leaving home:

Online shopping

Most supermarkets which offer home delivery services continue delivering everything you need for your day-to-day life to your home. If you’ve decided to avoid going out into the streets as much as possible and choose to shop online, you should know that the service has some restrictions: it’s possible that deliveries take longer than in normal circumstances, or that the company you’ve ordered from doesn’t offer some of their products. In addition, you must keep your distance at all times and have a pen ready to sign for the order.

Go shopping online

In addition to doing your food shopping from home, you can also acquire other types of products such as fashion items, books, technology, etc. Bear in mind that, just like online supermarkets, the frequency of delivery has decreased, so delivery times may be slightly longer.

Order takeaway food

Despite the fact that it’s completely forbidden to go to restaurants and cafes, those which offer home delivery will be able to continue offering their food for delivery as normal. You’ll have to order by phone or through an app.Even so, it’s possible that your favourite restaurant has decided to suspend its activity completely and is not taking orders. If you have doubts, try to contact them directly by phone.

Access the media

Another activity group which has not stopped is the media. You can access the online version of most newspapers and magazines. In addition, a significant number of publishers have decided to distribute their April issues for free. If you want to know more about this, look for information on the internet: you’ll be surprised by the amount of free resources at your fingertips.

Visit museums

Some of the most important national and international museums such as the Tyssen, the Prado, the Hermitage or the MOMA offer users the possibility of carrying out virtual visits. Thanks to them, you can escape from the pressures of confinement by travelling through their online galleries.

What are you waiting for to try it?As you can see, staying at home due to the quarantine doesn’t mean that you stop enjoying everything you like. By taking advantage of online resources, you can minimise the impact of not being able to go outside.
