This is what Simona Halep said in her message (translated) –

Unfortunately, we all went through a very difficult period, with new tests that we could hardly have imagined a few months ago.

On the other hand, it is the perfect opportunity to show that we know how to be supportive and responsible for our lives and those around us. While we are at home, doctors and medical personnel make huge efforts to treat and save each life by exposing themselves for the general good.

I decided to donate a sum of money for the purchase of the necessary equipment and materials in such situations, the amount that will be directed immediately to the medical authorities in Bucharest and Constanta. I encourage everyone who can support to contribute to the joint efforts to combat this virus. In the meantime, let us all take care of ourselves, be responsible and positive! God help us!

Honestly speaking, this is one of the smartest initiatives out there. Self isolation and community messaging is good in the short run. However, medical efficiency will be key in the long term frame. Stars like Simona Halep have certainly found the right avenue to invest their money in to tackle the Coronavirus.
