Happy Festive Season
Seasons greetings to the community!
As you may have noticed, the holiday season is upon us. We hope that you and your family are safe and in happy holiday spirits!
The past two years have been challenging in many accounts but the community have showed extreme resilience and steadfast to face all the challenges including the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The current COVID-19 wave appears to have plateaued, with several key measures – including active cases, cases in hospital and cases in intensive care – decreasing slightly for the first time in almost eight weeks.
However, multiple variants continue to circulate in Victoria and the transmission risks increase over the holiday period due to social gatherings and events. The tips below for staying safe this summer are particularly important during this holiday period.
Tips for staying safe this summer
Plan ahead this summer and consider the following tips to ensure you can enjoy the festivities safely.
Plan your party or family gathering outside when possible
Get tested if you have symptoms or you’re going to a party or family gathering
Keep homes well ventilated with windows and doors open
Wear a high-quality mask, especially where you can’t physically distance from others
Isolate for at least five days and until you have no symptoms
Check if you are eligible for COVID medicines
Get your next vaccine dose.
Protecting yourself is the best way to protect yourself and the community. If you don’t get COVID, you can’t spread COVID.

From all the staff at Malak Foundation, we send season’s greetings to every community member and their family. We hope everyone have a prosperous new year and safe holidays.
