The attached letter is from the CDS to Families and Members of the CAF. CDS Letter – COVID-19 – 27 MAR 20-EN
Dear C&E Family, At this momentous time in our history we are experiencing an incredible challenge to our safety and health. The global situation is calling for extreme measures that are attempting to contain a virus that puts many at risk. We are told that the most vulnerable are those elderly individuals who have underlying conditions. However, recent information says that the virus does not differentiate by age and that more of the younger generation are becoming affected. Many of our community are in self isolation having just returned from abroad or just following guidance from our public health experts. The concern is palpable, and some individuals may be experiencing anxiety in dealing with this unfathomable situation. It is at times like this that we as a community and family must come together to support one another. I would ask that each of us consider those who may not be in a position to help themselves and that we reach out to them to ensure that they have the necessary support to carry them through this difficult period. This support may be in the form of helping with groceries, access to medication or just a call to keep in touch. […]
