Due to widespread spread of COVID-19 in neighboring countries, as well as the high number of infections, and in order to spread awareness among the residents, the Syrian Society for Social Development team, in cooperation with the UNHCR, implemented an initiative to distribute precautionary materials to face the threat of COVID-19 within the Community-Based Initiatives programme. The latter included protective face masks, soap, disinfectants, and awareness brochures at the Farah Community Center in Adra Al-Balad, Rural Damascus.
