Val-d'Oise, Ile de France, France | First responders of Protection Civil, a collective of approximately 32, 000 mainly volunteers, are committed to the well-being of French citizens. Since the Coronavirus pandemic, more and more, mainly young, volunteers have followed first aid training and joined the NGO. Day in and day out, the team set out during 12-hour shifts as First Responders to help people at home as quickly as possible and, if necessary, to take them to hospital. About 3 in 10 interventions are a Covid19 patient. Photo: Joris van Gennip (KEYSTONE/LAIF/Joris van Gennip)
