Information added on 2020-04-28, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the corona virus pandemic that started in 2019) (English language only): COVID-19 patients who do not have a personal car often face the challenge to get home from the hospital to continue the recovery process. They are not allowed to use public transport so Rēzekne district municipality is ready to provide the assistance to the local residents by offering the specialized vehicle: the equipped minibus Volkswagen Crafter. The minibus was purchased in the project LLI-341 “Social Inclusion of Elderly People” (Aging in Comfort). The project intends to improve community-based social home-care services and infrastructure by applying new approaches of help at home and self-help activities allowing for aging in comfort.
