[English Version]
Originally from the island of Atauro, Simplicio Barbosa is currently studying a Bachelor of Business majoring in Strategic Management at the University of Waikato in New Zealand on a New Zealand Scholarship. Simplicio worked with Lafaek Learning Media in various roles from 2003-2019, eventually becoming Project Manager. We wanted to know how Simplicio is managing living and studying in New Zealand during the COVID-19 outbreak.
- Simplicio, what are you doing in New Zealand?
I am at the University of Waikato on a New Zealand Scholarship. I joined the university in July 2019, so I am still in my first year.
- What are you doing to protect yourself from COVID-19?
First and foremost, I am following the New Zealand Government’s guidelines about how to protect myself and others from COVID-19. I wash my hands often and longer than I used to with soap and running water. I use hand sanitiser often too. I also cover my mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and I try not touch my eyes, nose and mouth with my hands throughout the day – which is something I find hard because I often touch my nose when I am thinking. I also understand it is important to keep my body healthy by eating well, exercising and sleeping well. I also take multivitamins to help build my immune system and I try to avoid stress.
On March 25th, the New Zealand government announced the country would be placed in Alert Level 4 and would go into lockdown for one month, so I am currently staying home in self-isolation and practicing social distancing. This means that all non-essential business are closed, and all lectures and tutorials at my university are cancelled and replaced by online learning. I have to keep myself motivated as I still have the goal of completing my study on time. I used to study at the university’s library because I like the environment – it is surrounded by other students studying and lots of books too. I also liked going to campus to meet up with friends, tutors and lecturers, but I can’t do those things anymore. It has been hard to adapt to these changes, but I know this is for the good of myself and others. I sometimes get bored staying at home and only interacting with my roommates, but that’s what I can do to help the government fight the spread of the virus.
- What do you think of New Zealand’s response to COVID-19?
It is tremendous. I have learned that the NZ government was prepared for this situation a few months before the virus actually arrived here. I am so impressed by how Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has lead the fight against this virus. She constantly speaks to people through her live Facebook page to remind us to stay at home to save lives and protect others and I have been an active follower on her social media.
- What are your family in Timor-Leste doing to keep safe?
I passed on everything I learned here to them. I advised my family to stay away from crowds, to not shake hands with other people, to keep their distance from others, to wash their hands often and to buy enough spare food and phone credit for internet and local calls. The gate to our house has also been shut for family visits since the Government of Timor-Leste announced the State of Emergency. I check on my family everyday through social media, just to make sure they are alright.
- What advice do you have for the people of Timor-Leste?
First and foremost is to stay home. Please stay home. Do not go out unless it is super important, such as for buying essentials or going to the hospital if you are ill. Staying home is the best way to break the chain of the virus. It is about keeping yourself and others safe, especially the more vulnerable members of your family such as your mum and dad or grandpa or grandma. Lastly, follow hygiene practices such as washing your hands and other things the government says you should do. There is no way our government alone can succeed in fighting this virus without the contribution of its citizens.
Thank you very much to Simplicio for sharing his experiences. We wish him good health and all the best with his studies.
