So far, there have been 23,401 confirmed cases, with 1,497 deaths occurring.
In the pictures shared, McGregor could be seen unloading vehicles packed full of kit, while delivering in trollies stacked up with essential supplies.

His mellowing has also extended to his bitter rivals, with the Irishman reaching out to Khabib Nurmagomedov to send his best wishes after it was revealed the fighter’s father was in a coma in Moscow.
After learning that he was in a critical condition, McGregor tweeted: ‘Praying for the recovery of ‘Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. A man responsible for more world champions, across multiple fighting disciplines, than we even know.
‘A true martial genius! Very saddened upon hearing this news tonight. Praying for the Nurmagomedov family at this time.’
