Eyam, Inglaterra. En el siglo XVII, los habitantes de Eyam frenaron el avance de la peste poniéndose en estricta cuarentena. Ahora, en plena pandemia del coronavirus, este pueblo del centro de Inglaterra se inquieta ante la llegada de visitantes que ignoran las consignas.

Bajo un radiante sol primaveral, el pasado fin de semana muchos británicos se acercaron hasta este pequeño municipio de mil habitantes situado en el parque nacional de Peak District.
