Now is the time when the rich can help out their respective countries and many of them have stepped up to make sure they are doing what is required of them. Chinese billionaire Jack Ma has donated coronavirus kits to the US, Africa as well as Asia; our own business tycoon, Mr Anand Mahindra, is setting up his factories to manufacture ventilators for patients. He has also promised to donate 100 per cent of his salary for the coming months, to make sure the medical facilities don't break down.
Adding to this, the Reliance Foundation owned by Mukesh Ambani, has set up India's first COVID-19 hospital which will be solely dedicated to treat patients who are infected by coronavirus.

Apart from this, Reliance has also donated Rs 5 crore to the Maharashtra government's relief fund to help those who have been the virus' victims. According to a Financial Express report, the company's statement on the same was, 'RIL has deployed the combined strengths of Reliance Foundation, Reliance Retail, Jio, Reliance Life Sciences, Reliance Industries, and all the 6,00,000 members of the Reliance family on this action plan against COVID-19'.
This is a great initiative by them and more such facilities need to be set up by those who can afford to do so in order to help the current situation. The only way to fight this is to fight it together.
