Hip-hop icon Master P is providing free hand sanitizer and home cleaning services to New Orleans residents above the age of 60 to keep them safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

The New Orleans native told TMZ Tuesday that anyone in that age range can apply for the hand sanitizers and a deep cleaning of their homes as long as they show identification.

“A lot of people forget about the elderly. And my thing is making sure we go out and get them groceries, make monetary donations to them,” Master P told TMZ.

For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a few weeks. But for some, especially adults above 60 and people with existing health problems, it can cause life-threatening illnesses like pneumonia.

Through his foundation, Team Hope NOLA, Master P had already been making donations to elderly residents for groceries, before adding cleaning services and hand sanitizer to the mix. The cleaning products are made by the rapper’s sons and their cleaning products business, Master Clean Life.
