Rising cases and reopening

Hi everyone
I’m deeply saddened to read about the rising cases and deaths in Mauritius.  To give some support to anyone alone and isolated, at this time, is crucial.  If you are alone and sad who helps?

Is there a door knock and “hello how are you” network group operating, at a masked social distance?
In the U.K. mental health issues are growing due to social isolation and fear.

I was going to the supermarket and checked in with a neighbour, who was feeling frail and he was running out of milk and dog food, I picked some up no problem, left it at his door, took payment in an envelope. All done covid compliant.

Please check on your neighbours health and well-being (masked and at a 2 meter distance).  You may make all the difference to a persons day.  Someone may check on you too which may make you smile.

That’s most laudable, and surely many persons in this forum will be inspired by your actions. :one

That's the spirit with the essence of humanity. You gave me a good reminder & a lesson to practice.

Thank you & god bless.

Very thoughtful, L. We should indeed check on our neighbours.

"Is there a door knock and “hello how are you” network group operating, at a masked social distance?"

I don't think there's a network group  as it is quite complicated to go out (alphabetical order and only to grocery stores or pharmacy and gas station/). Would need a special waiver or something like that. I guess only neighbours could check on their immediate neighbours, also family members.
