The residents of the municipality of Chisinau can call on the helplines 0800-00090 and 0800-00080 to obtain information and to ask for assistance in connection with the state of emergency declared in Moldova.

Contacted by IPN, head of the General Social Assistance and Health Division Tatiana Bucharski said the phone number 0800-00090 can be used to seek support. This helpline is intended for pensioners and persons with disabilities who live alone and have no one who could help them.

The crisis cell members will inform by phone the beneficiaries about the measures that must be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and will register requests that will be later dealt with by social workers together with volunteers. When these travel to the homes of beneficiaries, they will present their permits.

On 0800-00080, any citizen can receive information about COVID-19 and how they can protect themselves from this.

The citizens can use the helplines between 8am and 5pm, from Monday through Friday.
