Projects in the Time of Corona
Cautious optimism is spreading in Germany: Some of the protective measures against the spread of the coronavirus are being eased. We are regaining leeway – yet prudence and above all consideration remain paramount! Practised solidarity means to continue keeping your distance, to act wisely, and above all to show consideration! And exactly this is being done in the projects of the Order of St. Lazarus: Our partners are using all their energy to continue supporting those in greatest need. This is currently more challenging than ever: Lockdowns hamper the supply of food and hygiene products. This makes it all the more important for the members of the Grand Bailiwick to set examples, because the concern for the weak, the old and the sick remains.
