Sports stars unite to support ‘heroes’ helping vulnerable in coronavirus fight

CNN  

CNN — With doctors advising more people to self-isolate and travel reduced between countries to hinder the spread of the coronavirus, its ability to separate people has become starker. And although Health Minister Park Neunghoo told CNN that South Korea has “passed the peak” of its coronavirus outbreak, some of the country’s top sports stars are doing their bit to help the country deal with the impact. The captain of the national team and Tottenham Hotspur forward, Son Heung-Min, donated over $82,000 to a non-profit organization in his home country to “prevent Covid-19 infection.” Good Neighbours International, a humanitarian NGO founded in South Korea in 1991, is providing aid all across the country, supplying masks, hand sanitizers and hygiene kits. “Even though it is far away, as we face increased corona damage, I wanted to ensure Covid-19 no longer spreads, and to the vulnerable, I hope it will help you a bit,” the UEFA Champions League finalist said in an Instagram post. I hope that everyone bands together to overcome this terrible situation, and hope to see real support being given to those necessary.” In addition, Faker’s team SK Telecom 1 will donate all of their streaming proceeds this week to charities to “help low-income families combat the novel coronavirus.” “Coronavirus has affected nearly every corner of the world and we want to do our small part to help the communities where we live and play,” T1 CEO Joe Marsh said.
