“San Francisco took a very cautious approach to the pandemic and citizens behaved very responsibly” says Jep Esteve, Director of Ecommerce at Facebook in San Francisco.

He points out that Barcelona, like many other European cities, “went through several different phases,” but people’s readiness to get vaccinated demonstrated that Barcelona has a "a responsible society that is eager to get moving again.”
