Citizens Are Captured Fighting COVID-19 In Very Unique Ways
FIGHTING COVID-19 – Amid shortages in medical supplies to protect against the new coronavirus, citizens execute unique strategies against the virus.
The whole world faced a new pandemic – COVID-19. However, instead of working together, people started panic-buying and hoarding much-needed supplies such as face masks.
This left the majority of the public with nothing to protect them against the virus when going out. As such, some citizens became a bit creative to address the issue.
