  • Actions taken to keep your community safe, specially the elderly, women, children, and the disabled
  • Sharing of resources like food, essential items, clothes, etc
  • How families, neighbours, and communities are staying connected despite physical restrictions
  • Economic impact of COVID-19 on communities i.e. loss of jobs, livelihood opportunities, and businesses
