The King and Queen of Spain continued video conferences at the Palace of Zarzuela.

Queen Letizia held a video conference with the State Representative Platform for People with Physical Disabilities, and the Federación Nacional ASPAYM. During the meeting, the heads detailed the impact of COVID-19 upon residences, day centers, and home assistance services, while expressing concern for the economic sustainability of their entities and for people with disabilities who had lost their jobs. They also explained to Her Majesty that they are preparing a plan to adapt to the situation after the health crisis, where they aim to restore normal care for people in centers and homes and reconvert activities and services to telematic systems, which include; training, prevention of infections, awareness, tele-rehabilitation and maintaining fitness at home among others.

Their Majesties later held a video conference with representatives from the field of the Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence who reviewed digital solutions developed by the Spanish government to aid in the management of the pandemic. The 'Asistencia Covid-19', is a self-diagnosis application that has helped clear telephone lines and offered guidelines. An artificial intelligence assistant 'Hispabot-Covid19' responds to citizens' concerns with official, accurate, and up-to-date information, along with instant messaging services WhatsApp and Telegram which have answered 193,000 queries thus far. The DataCOVID mobility study based on anonymous and aggregated data from mobile devices from the three main providers in Spain showed that since the state of alarm was declared 85% of citizens have not moved from their area of residence.

On Friday 1st May King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia held telephone calls with; Hospitales Universitarios of Leon and Burgos and Hospital de Nuestra Señora de Sonsoles de Ávila. Over the weekend Their Majesties conversed with; Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset of Valencia, Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves of Granada, Hospital Virgen de la Luz in Cuenca, Hospital Universitario Joan XXIII of Tarragona and Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal of Madrid.

Thanks so much for continuing to post on this blog. We are not seeing very much fashion and fashion comments are perhaps not appropriate at this time. Just wanted you to know that your efforts are appreciated, even though the circumstances are greatly changed. Stay well everyone!

I agree the fashion commentary is a bit of a puzzle right now, but the blog continues to acknowledge the work Letizia is doing and showing what she is wearing. I'm not among those prepared to write fashion off as frivolous, serious times simply mean serious style choices, something I think Letizia is good at. I'm fascinated to discover she is still introducing sublte changes which help distinguish her appearances so each day's groups can have a photo to call their own, an important aspect of recognition for them

We also continue to be given IDs of new items which is very welcome. I really admire how the blog keeps going,and am unhappy to see Elizabeth left with uncommented posts!! I really respect the work you're doing here, and am very grateful for it.

The repeats are coming in fast as the lockdown goes on. I like the Hugo Boss top very much and it definitely looks better with the darker jacket, same as last time. Hard to see a difference between the two outings, but It's possible Letizia may be wearing a different stud this time, unless it's a just a trick of the light.

Interesting to see the overhead shot showing the single fixed camera which may account for unfocused lighting. These Spanish pictures show less distortion than some others which seem to give some royals broader faces. Thanks for keeping up with the diverse interests covered, from problems facing disabilities, the digital self-diagnosis project, and all those hospitals contacted by phone.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
