Letter of complaint to alleviate institutional closures

Some members of our association live in institutions because of their disabilities. The first wave of COVID has already put them in a very difficult situation by being completely isolated for three months, neither allowed to go out or receive visitors in any form.At the moment, in the second wave, they are forced to go through the same thing. We are today delivering official juice to the maintainers and managers of the institution concerned in Pécs, to which we expect a response within 15 days as a complaint.
