"Ready carabinieri? I am alone, I cannot leave the house and I need some medicine: can you help me? ”.

This is the request from an elderly person in difficulty at the Macomer police station.

The man explained that he urgently needed to buy a life-saving drug and - not knowing who to turn to - he decided to turn to the weapon.

And the military immediately took action to give him a hand. The commander of the Silanus station went with another soldier to the man's home, withdrew the prescription and then, after identifying the pharmacy on duty, proceeded to purchase it, then returning to deliver the medicine to the elderly .

"On the occasion - explains a note from the Arma - the Carabinieri met with the elderly man who expressed his deep gratitude, focusing on how the constant presence of the Arma among the people was for small towns and people elderly an irreplaceable point of reference ".

"These small, but great gestures - continues the note - have always characterized the work of the Carabinieri, who continue to be close to the population every day even in this period of pandemic so strongly marked by social distancing".
