“We know that members of our community has suffered disproportionate health impacts during the Covid-19 crisis, as well as higher than average rates of diabetes and strokes, even before the pandemic.
“We need to work together as a community to tackle these issues and I’d encourage residents in this higher risks groups to come along, get checked out, and enjoy some world class domino matches.”
