Downtown Cares
How Chennai residents are coping with Corona
COVID-19 is still largely uncharted territory. And therefore, the path to deal with it is bound to have its twists and sometimes, hairpin bends. Geographically-defined groups, especially the gated communities, are improvising along the way, keeping their ears perked for updates from government agencies engaged in tackling the public health crisis; and then adopting best practices from their neighbours on how to carry out the mundane aspects of running a community in the manner that will ensure the safety of residents.
