The Local Government got volunteers and dressmakers to fabricate altogether 21.000 face masks, 350 face shields and 312 protective overalls. Healthcare workers and social workers received these items of protective equipment first.

Until 30th of March 2020 all the residents of Várpalota were supplied with face masks which were put into the letterboxes of the houses and flats.

Within the framework of “stay home” campaign elderly residents were informed through loudspeakers about the importance of staying at home, different types of support available for them, tasks related to the allocation of masks, rules of wearing the masks and social distancing. The announcements through loudspeakers installed on cars took place with three cars several times a day from 21st of March until the end of April. Some volunteers fulfilled 60-100 working hours with their cars in the early evening on workdays, at weekends and on holidays while informing the residents.

After introducing digital education, we provided canteen meals (lunch) for pupils of kindergarten age and school children according to the following numbers of children and portions:

 

MARCH

School children                      110 people      739 portions

Pupils of kindergarten age     177 people      889 portions

School children                      119 people      2052 portions

Pupils of kindergarten age     176 people      3248 portions

 

MAY

School children                      118 people      2016 portions

Pupils of kindergarten age     163 people      2264 portions

 

The Local Government remitted the rent or reduced it to 31 enterprises for two and a half months from mid-March until 31st of May.

The non-profit Public Service Ltd. of Várpalota carried out the disinfection of street furniture, benches in busy public spaces and playgrounds several times.

We provided accommodation for 12 homecoming people during the two-week quarantine.

The Local Government remitted the public land fee of using the terrace to catering units in four cases, for 4-5 months until 31st of August. Lunch was provided for children coming from families entitled to free meals in the kitchen of Ringató Day Nursery from 24th of March 2020 until 22nd of May 2020 (until the full opening).
