Coronavirus: Woman's idea to help elderly and vulnerable goes viral

A woman has taken to social media to share her idea to help those in need during the Coronavirus pandemic and it has taken the internet by storm.

The post has been shared more than 167k times and received more than 5,000 reactions.

On Facebook, Lesley posted: "Just an idea, but i think it would be amazing if people with ice cream vans stopped selling ice cream for the time being and instead, stocked up on eggs, milk, bread, toilet roll etc and went around, playing their chimes, to let the elderly and disabled know they're there and buy things on their own doorstep instead of trekking down the shops?!!"

One person said: "Genius idea!"
