Coronavirus: How are people helping each other during the outbreak?
Description
Coronavirus is grinding the country to a halt with school and business closures and health workers stretched. Tales of shop shelves being emptied by panic buyers and government social distancing advice being ignored have brought criticism, but the outbreak is also bringing the best out in some people.
With vulnerable neighbours and relatives being told to self-isolate, many communities are rallying around.
More than 1,000 volunteer groups have been set up to help those self-isolating during the coronavirus outbreak.
Tens of thousands have come forward offering to pick up shopping or deliver medicine to the most vulnerable across the country.
Many have taken it upon themselves to send messages of hope and positivity to others, with children across the country painting rainbows to put up in their windows.
Charlotte Bredael, 18, from Gosforth in Newcastle, is sending personalised videos to children as Disney princess Rapunzel.
