Despite the panic buying and empty supermarket shelves the coronavirus crisis in the Netherlands is creating a steady stream of new initiatives to help elderly neighbours and people in essential services.
Hundreds of people have signed up to websites, Facebook groups and other projects offering to do pick up groceries, walk dogs and look after children.
Viral Shah, an Indian national living in Amstelveen, told DutchNews.nl he had set up a Whatsapp group where people can ask for help with doing their shopping. ‘We as an Indian community should come together and help wherever we can in this crisis situation, he said.
In Amsterdam there is a new Facebook group Amsterdam Corona Help, which people can use to register their wish to help and attracted over 250 members in a day.
A group of four Dutch students have launched a website ‘Gewoon mensen die mensen willen helpen’ (just people who want to help others), a nationwide service where people offer their services. Over 1,000 people have already signed up.
The hashtag coronahulp is also being used by people offering their services to the elderly or people working in essential sectors. There are similar initiatives in Ede, Utrecht and Nijmegen.
