Samsung and Google are trying to make things a little easier for those currently on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. That’s why both companies are now offering free phone repairs for those individuals.

According to The Verge, both companies are collaborating with third-party device repair company uBreakiFix for their programs. Samsung’s program, called Free Repairs for The Frontline, applies for first responders and health-care professionals with any Samsung phone. Google’s program applies to all Pixel smartphone owners who can present an ID badge proving they are a first responder or health-care worker.

Both programs will be available through June 30 at more than 500 participating uBreakiFix locations in the U.S. uBreakiFix offers curbside and in-home services and has enhanced their cleaning and safety protocols to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
