The Egyptian Red Crescent, in partnership with Carrefour Egypt, launched an initiative to support encountering the novel corona virus during the holy month of Ramadan, in Carrefour branches in a number of governorates.
The campaign came to reinforce the partnership that has existed for more than ten years between the Egyptian Red Crescent and Carrefour Egypt.
The initiative was represented in a campaign in which volunteers were present during the holy month of Ramadan in the branches of Carrefour in some governorates in order to spread health awareness on how to prevent corona virus, distribute antiseptics to shoppers and workers, as well as carry out disinfection operations for the branches.
This comes within the framework of the efforts made by the Egyptian Red Crescent in encountering the pandemic of the novel Corona virus across the republic through its volunteers, which includes health services, disinfection operations and psychosocial support for the patients and their families, the distribution of food and financial assistance to those affected by the pandemic, the spread of health awareness, and the organization of pensioners in front of Post offices and distribution of personal hygiene kits, in addition to providing a building designated as an isolation hospital and providing the necessary supplies.
