The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an outpouring of support from people worldwide. From donating medical supplies to volunteering in hospitals, people do what they can to help. The big question is how to thank coronavirus helpers? Here are a few ideas.
Who Are the Coronavirus Helpers?
The coronavirus has had a devastating impact on communities around the world. But, amid all the darkness, there are also stories of hope and resilience.
One group of people who have been helping fight the pandemic are healthcare workers. From doctors and nurses to support staff, they have been working tirelessly to care for those affected by the virus. In the US, 94% of hospitals are in the process of adopting EHRs. So, thank you, healthcare workers.
Another group of helpers is volunteers. In many countries, people have been giving up their time to help with the relief effort. They’ve been doing everything from delivering food and supplies to those in need to providing emotional support. Unfortunately, as volunteers aren’t paid employees, they aren’t covered under workers’ compensation insurance by most insurers in most states.
Other groups of people who have been playing a vital role in combating the virus are researchers and scientists. They’ve been working around the clock to try and find a vaccine and develop treatments for those who have been infected.
And finally, there are the teachers. In many parts of the world, schools have been closed due to the pandemic. But that hasn’t stopped teachers from finding innovative ways to continue educating their students. From setting up online classes to providing home-learning resources, they ensure that learning can continue despite the difficulties.
Luckily, auto insurance companies recognize the efforts of teachers in the community.
These are just some of the people who have been helping to fight the coronavirus pandemic. They are our heroes, and we owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you for your support during this pandemic.
How To Thank Coronavirus Helpers?
1. Donations
If you're able, making a financial contribution is always appreciated. You can donate to organizations helping with relief efforts or directly to individuals who are volunteering.
2. Volunteering
If you're unable to make a monetary donation, consider giving your time instead. There are many ways to volunteer, from helping out at your local food bank to providing child care for frontline workers.
3. Expressing Emotional Support
Sometimes the best way to thank someone is simply by letting them know that you appreciate them. A kind word or gesture can go a long way, especially in these difficult times. So let’s say it once again, thank you, healthcare heroes.
How Do Cities/Institutions/Businesses Celebrate Healthcare Workers?
1. Events
Many cities, towns, and other institutions across the US celebrate healthcare workers during National Nurses Week (May 6-12) and National Doctors Day (March 30). These celebrations include special events, such as concerts, parades, and luncheons. Others involve businesses offering discounts or freebies to healthcare workers.
2. Raising funds
Many businesses also choose to support healthcare workers by raising funds for charities providing financial assistance or health services. For example, some restaurants may hold fundraisers where a portion of the proceeds go to a charity supporting healthcare workers.
Bottom Line
The world is coming together in the face of this pandemic, and we should all do our part to show appreciation to those on the front lines. Whether you’re a health care worker, grocery store employee, or just someone trying to keep your head down and get through this tough time, take a moment to say thank you.
So how have you shown your gratitude for the people helping us during the coronavirus pandemic?
