Community unite during COVID-19 pandemic

IN the midst of panic-buying, cancelled events and venues closing, Australians have put up a strong front and are helping one another.

The government has enforced measures in the wake of COVID-19, including social distancing and banning mass gatherings.

Thankfully, major retailers have opted to offer a ‘community hour’ for the elderly and vulnerable while the state government has introduced a stimulus package.

Local communities and small businesses have also extended helping hands, including giving away toilet paper for customers and offering free food delivery.

Here are some other examples of good will and unity across Perth:
