After cooking, the eggs will be distributed to the community, Social Welfare Institutions (LKS), and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which will later be given to the Social Welfare Service Provider (PPKS).

"In addition, the Ministry of Social Affairs cooperates with religious organizations and parties who care about handling the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, such as religious organizations and other parties who care and want to help in efforts to handle the COVID-19 pandemic", she said.

The aid received is planned to be used to buy protein-rich foods and according to nutritionists it can be used to increase the body's immune system.
