Spain Post introduced a special COVID-19 stamp to pay well-deserved homage to the people who have been and are currently on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also serves as a reminder of all those who have succumbed to the virus and those that have had it and beaten it. The miniature sheet with one stamp shows two interlocked hands, giving and receiving support, as well as applauding hands to express gratitude.
A virus the size of a thousandth of a human hair, it has paralysed the world's population, breaking financial barriers and, what is even more catastrophic, ending the lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. The Spanish people have behaved in an exemplary, united manner. First, there are the health workers, who have worked tirelessly despite being exposed to contagion, many of them succumbing to the virus; and then there are the essential service workers, including food suppliers, supermarket workers, cleaners, transport workers, postal workers, care workers, bank staff, technicians, energy sector workers, media sector workers, police and armed forces personnel, and firemen, among many others, who have been at the forefront of the battle covering the needs of the rest of the population.
