Alderweireld Promises Computer Tablets To Help Covid-19 Patients Communicate With Family

Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld has promised to donate computer tablets to hospitals and nursing homes to help patients communicate with their loved ones during the Coronavirus outbreak.

The Covid-19 pandemic has showed no signs of slowing down with 5,683 cases and 281 deaths recorded in the United Kingdom.

Affected people are discouraged from having close contact with loved ones while the aged and vulnerable, who are more susceptible to the virus, have been advised to remain in isolation for 12 weeks.

Alderweireld is hoping the provision of tablets to hospitals will help those in isolation video chat and keep in touch with friends and family.

In a video address on his personal Twitter page, the Belgium centre-back said: "I hope everyone is following the government measures to stop the further thread of coronavirus

"This virus creates many needs, especially the lack of personal contact.

"People that are sick can't see their friends or family, so my plan is to buy dozens of tablets to give to hospitals and nursery homes, so people can video chat with their loved ones and friends, to get through this tough period.

"In the next days and weeks, I'm trying to get those tablets to places where they can help. I hope anyone that can spare, or give, or do something to help a little bit the people in need, to see family and friends, because it will help a lot. We stay together strong."

Alderweireld has made 27 Premier League appearances for Tottenham Hotspur this season.
