(Last updated: 24th June, with Anti-pandemic relief report in mainland China)

　

COVID-19 has spread to many countries in the world. China, where the outbreak first took place, has suffered one of the worst hits. The disease has spread rapidly all over the country. Wuhan and other cities in Hubei province were locked down one after another. In order to stop the spread of the virus, closed-off gated-community management was implemented in many cities and there was strict control on entry to these communities. Up to 5th of March 2020 , there have been over 80,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 3,000 deaths reported in mainland China as a result of the disease.

　

In light of the severity of the outbreak and the lack of epidemic prevention materials in China, CEDAR made an allocation of approximately HK$513,000 to provide emergent relief aid in Hubei, Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. Through the local networks of our Christian partners in mainland, we provided medical personnel, disinfection workers, impoverished families, as well as civil servants who were on shift duty to combat the disease, with hygienic and protective supplies. We also mobilised volunteers to care for the poor families and offer living supplies. As this COVID-19 is highly contagious, our partners strove to keep person-to-person contact to a minimum during distribution. Instead of directly entering the community, they distributed materials to beneficiaries via hospitals, institutions and community units in need.
