Coronavirus Telephone Hotline for the Karen community turns one with plenty of work still to do

It's amazing that our free Coronavirus Telephone Hotline for the Karen community has just turned one.

Don't think any of us thought this service would still be needed 12 months on but sadly that's COVID-19.

The need for trusted information around Coronavirus symptoms, testing, quarantine, contact tracing and now COVID-19 vaccines and the QR Code system is more important than ever.

We have even answered questions about recreational activities such as fishing and camping.

There's so much more work ahead of us talking to the community and answering their questions but we got our staff to pause for just a moment to recognise the wonderful service they have provided with the free hotline and other programs in the past year.

We are so proud of all our staff who have been part of this wonderful community initiative.

Most of them appear in these great pictures with a first birthday cake. Sad thing is thanks to COVID-19 you can't even blow the candle out!
