Odd-job service delivers food home to over-70s
People over 70 should keep social contacts at a minimum to avoid being infected with covid-19.
– The shopkeepers take the orders and payment for them. The municipality organises free delivery to the doorstep, says Ulrika Dahlberg, Östra Göinge municipality.
