Residents throughout 21 RTs in RW 04 Benhil also worked together to help residents affected by COVID-19.

"Residents voluntarily donate their money to buy staple foods and distribute it to residents affected by COVID-19 but don't receive social assistance from government. In other words, people who are financially stable help those who are less fortunate," she said.

In addition, Task Force team also collaborated with residents and other relevant agencies to spray public facilities and residential areas with disinfectant.

"We also distribute staple foods for people without symptoms (OTG) who are undergoing self-isolation in their homes. Thus they don't feel isolated when exposed to COVID-19," she explained.
