Rita Ora does not intend to remain inactive while the medical staff undertakes to save the patients from Covid-19. The English singer, whose mother is a psychiatrist and continues to care for her patients during the health crisis, told Hello! Magazine how proud she was of her mother and that she intended to follow in her footsteps by becoming a volunteer to do all she can to help.
“She is my heroine, she always was in my eyes, but since the pandemic, she has become a superheroine. She is courageous, she has gone through so much, but her generosity and her desire to help others cement what I knew she could do. I'm just glad the rest of the world can see it, ”she said.
All superheroes
Rita Ora clarified that, for her, all the other doctors who continue to fight at the front against the coronavirus, are also superheroes. As a volunteer, the singer (and her sister, who has also signed up) will be responsible for delivering medical equipment, retrieving prescriptions, or taking news of vulnerable and isolated elderly figures in their community.

Covid-19 is impacting the world in a way none of us could have imagined. Over the last few months we have watched this virus spread throughout the world not quite understanding its impact. I think by now we all understand that this is something that is having and will continue to have devastating effects on everyone. We all have a part to play in helping to stop the spread. Thinking about what I can do to try and help, I reached out to Sir Bob Geldof for advice on how best to make any kind of difference. Bob was beyond gracious, as of course he has been the master of mobilising young people all his life. The first idea was to design a symbol to remind us all that we have a battle to fight together. After working on this symbol, I sent it to the @UNFoundation, who helped set up the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization @WHO. I started discussing with them how we could work together, to encourage people to unite to combat as much as we can the spread of this virus. There are simple things we can all do to make a difference. To create as much awareness as we can, we are launching this symbol and an instruction page to offer some guidance from, and with support of the WHO. We have made available some simple merchandise with all proceeds going directly to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. We would love you to buy whatever you can afford or make a small donation, but I wanted you to know that if that is not possible for you even sharing or posting the symbol will help. Please - Stop the Spread. Play Your Part! I love you, Rita x
