Kiev, Ukraine lockdown sound recorded by Mariana.
"The soundscape was recorded on May 15th, 5 am, it documents the 64th day of quarantine in Kyiv, Ukraine. You may hear the early birds choir singing on top of the sounds of the train and occasional cars passing by.
Despite the official restrictions, many citizens couldn't bear self-isolation anymore and started to return to usual lifestyle, driven by the first signs of summer.
"A week later, quarantine measures were loosened and the city is almost back to normal.
"The epidemic numbers are not really decreasing though."
