Response to COVID19

1. TheNueva Segovia Consortium of Cooperatives (NSCC) Response to the
COVID19 Pandemic
With the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its economic and social blows, the world
is facing a time of unparalleled uncertainty. This is now a time when previously
unthinkable things are now a reality. The mandatory closure of non-essential
businesses and the confinement of billions of people to their homes are shaping to
become the new normal which directly impact societies and economies.
Historically, during periods of crises, the values of cooperation, solidarity, and caring
for others experience an increase in popularity. In light of this, the NSCC has been
one of the stalwart cooperatives in the region putting out initiatives which respond to
the drastic changes and effects of this pandemic. Their members have truly adapted
the universal cooperative values and principles as a way of life.
