Under the heavy rain this afternoon, wage earners had lunch in corners such as roadsides, parks, staircases, etc. The situation was very embarrassing. Many industrial buildings, merchants, churches, etc. decided to open lunch spaces. Some netizens set up a fb page "Free lunch places to share in various districts" to help themselves, collecting food places for people in need to check.
The An Su Church of the Methodist Church, 54 Waterloo Road, will open its auxiliary hall for meals from 12:00 noon to 2 noon from tomorrow to Saturday. At 7 pm, staff will continue to set up tables and chairs and prepare disinfection and cleaning supplies. .
Pastor Lin Chongzhi, the pastor of the church, said that due to the restrictions on gatherings, church gatherings have been completely suspended and changed to live online worship. Tomorrow, the auxiliary hall will be used as a lunch space, with air-conditioning and toilets open, and boiled water is also available. He emphasized that "food is not a gathering. It is purely a personal rest. It is necessary to use the bathroom and drink a glass of water." He discourages people from gathering to chat.
Lin Chongzhi said that the auxiliary hall has 55 seats, separated by more than 1.5 meters and separated by rubber sheets. It is expected that two rounds can accommodate more than 100 people. Before entering, citizens must take their body temperature and disinfect them with alcohol-based handrubs. They wear masks immediately after eating. After citizens leave, the staff will disinfect the tables and chairs before arranging others to sit in and clean the toilets regularly. If there are too many people, two more rooms will be opened and more than 20 seats will be provided. "There is no room with a desk, it is not ideal, but they are all comfortable to sit in the street, and comfortable to get in the rain and the sun."
Lin Chongzhi pointed out that more than 100 workers started work on a construction site opposite An Sutang. This afternoon they were sitting on the side of the road for a meal. The underground was wet. The sand and dust billowed as buses and vehicles passed by. He hoped that the space would be available for them to eat and rest. Leaflets have been distributed to them today, and other citizens are welcome to use it.
