After world wars, we are in the midst of the most difficult
times that the human race has experienced. Although some might look at it as
some sort of illness, but the uncertainty associated with COVID-19 virus makes
it way more than just an illness and more like a silent bomb that goes off
every now and then infecting hundreds in a day and if it continues at the same
pace, would infect thousands on a daily basis. Its ability to replicate itself
and transfer from an infected person to another is remarkable which makes it
extremely dangerous as we do not have any cure or vaccine for it up till now. The
immediate solution to reduce the spread of Coronavirus is isolation. The
situation has forced millions of people to stay at home isolated which results
in so many different kinds of challenges.
Business activities got effected as people were forced to stay at home. Production fell rapidly creating shortage for items which are used on a daily basis. Millions of people panicked and rushed to their neighboring superstores to grab anything they could to stock at home to get prepared for the quarantine period which no one knows how long will last. Videos of empty shelves in supermarkets made rounds on the social media intensifying the panic situation and people start asking how they are going to sustain in this quarantine period. Uncertainty and fear is in the air while people sit at home scared to death and wait for a solution to this global crises.
No matter how hard the times be, humans always try to find a way out and help each other to collectively come out of any given situation. This spirit of humanity and sense of survival allows us to find solutions and help each other to overcome difficult and demanding situations.

Similarly, Woolworths and many other companies in Australia are setting up emergency delivery service for most vulnerable customers such as senior citizens, people with mandatory quarantine situation and disabled people who are in the most need of supplies and no stone is left unturned to reach out to these customers.
