The nuns explained that, being a risk group and in fear of contracting the virus, they had not gone to the bank branch where they receive their monthly allowance, so they lacked the money to meet the daily food and support. After assessing this need, the Civil Guard agreed to facilitate this task by collecting the bank card of the congregation to make the refund of the amount requested at the nearest branch. The agents have attended to the needs of this group, traveling, up to two times since the state of alarm was issued, to the convent to deliver, in the hands of the mother superior, the requested cash.
