They lend their accommodation to the requisitioned caregivers

Faced with the health crisis represented by Cod-19, medical staff fear overloading hospitals. The situation is alarming and for this reason, many people are making the population aware of the importance of respecting security measures and, above all, remaining confined. Thus, the saturation of emergency services could be avoided. The lack of resources for medical personnel and hospitals in France is therefore alarming. This is why many people show an unnamed spirit of solidarity. Many French property ads are available on social media to make their apartments available during the crisis. Having confined themselves otherwise, they wish to allow caregivers to facilitate their work.

So, on Twitter, you can see messages like this: "Not living in my studio in Paris, I can lend it to a caregiver who needs it, the time of confinement. I know no one in this environment, thank you for sharing!" This approach aims to facilitate travel to the workplaces of caregivers. This allowed other people to do the same by making their empty apartments available. The actor Pierre Deladonchamps, for example, posted a message on Twitter in order to lend his apartment free of charge for the time of confinement: "When I saw the announcement of Emmanuel Macron, Monday evening, which spoke of requisitioning hotels, I said to myself that there was also a solution that did not cost the state anything: mutual aid" he explains to Huffingtonpost.

A touching and united gesture that should help many caregivers and other medical personnel.
