The Jamati Institutions of Canada, in consultation with public health authorities across the country, continue to monitor the state of COVID-19 and take pre-emptive steps to reduce the risk of infection in the Jamat.
This COVID-19 update will be disseminated on a regular basis as a supplement to the Al-Akhbar, with the intention of keeping the Jamat informed of developments as they unfold, with specific reference to the situation in Canada, which is different from that in other parts of the world.
The information provided here is intended not to cause undue anxiety, but rather to help Jamati members and families take reasonable measures to prevent transmission and infection, and to support each other. It is of particular concern that we think about how best to protect and keep safe those who are at highest risk, including the elderly and those with chronic illnesses.
The Jamati institutions of Canada will continue to monitor the situation and keep the Jamat informed.
