During my visits I witnessed a truly amazing community spirit and determination to ensure those most impacted by the current health emergency are cared for, despite extremely adverse circumstances. I believe these grass root initiatives are going to be increasingly necessary in the coming weeks. I am appealing to everyone in the community and especially younger people to heed the advice aimed at helping to reduce the spread of infection.”
