Telekom announced a very important measure he took in the fight to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus in Romania, and anyone can contribute right now to the battle everyone is waging. First of all, those from Telekom announced that through their foundation they have donated complete communication packages, i.e. mobile phones and prepaid SIMs that will be used to monitor the health status of people in quarantine or isolation.
Telekom he did not explain very clearly whether the phones reach the authorities, the people who are in isolation, or quarantine, or both categories, but it is very good that it helps from this point of view. People who are in isolation or quarantine must be in constant contact with the authorities to provide them with information about their health status, and Telekom is, if I am not mistaken, the first operator to announce that it has taken such a measure in the context of the Coronavirus.
Telekom: IMPORTANT Measure Announced in the Fight against the Coronavirus
Telekom he also revealed that he opened three emergency SMS numbers that allow any people in Romania to donate any amount of money to help in the fight against the Coronavirus. These phone numbers collect money for NGOs that collect funds through an online platform to help the authorities cover any kind of medical needs, and Telekom contributes to this whole process now.
"The Telekom Romania Foundation joined the information campaign carried out by the Romanian Red Cross to prevent contamination of the population with the new Coronavirus. Thus, the Telekom Romania Foundation donated complete communication packages (mobile phones and prepay SIMs), which will be used for telephone monitoring of the health status of people in quarantine or isolation. At the same time, Telekom Romania opened 3 emergency SMS donation numbers (8825, 8826 and 8827), through the www.donatie.ro platform, for non-profit associations in Romania. The funds collected by these associations will be directed through mobile phone networks to medical and social needs identified in partnership with the relevant authorities, in the context of Covid-19."
Telekom he did not reveal whether he will contribute anything to the amounts donated through this fundraising, as Facebook did, which also collects money in the US, doubling any amounts raised. Telekom most likely offers the fundraising infrastructure without additional costs for the donated money, or at least this would be a correct move, in situations like this the help of large corporations is very important.
Telekom announced yesterday a series of measures it is taking for customers and employees in the context of the Coronavirus, a letter from the CEO detailing all the changes that are being made in Romania.
