Thank you extremely useful information that i can use

planning and regular communication has a lot to do in helping people plane and think of what to do and how to do it to help each other in the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Communication is key. Good communication is even better. Talking, asking and listening helps you know how best to help. Don't just talk, listen and know when to come in. Plan.
