COVID-19
The World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 no longer a pandemic on May 5, 2023 and most of the countries did away with mandatary Public Health protocols. However, people are still getting Covid and people are still dying. Several variants are still around and a new Omicron variant, EG.5, has surfaced. Public Health Agency of Canada, while reporting low Covid-19 levels countrywide, have reported an expected increase in the EG.5 variant in Canada.
Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Toronto, states that vaccines used regardless of the manufacturer, and regardless of the Covid variant, continue to provide significant protection against severe manifestations of the virus. Prevention is the same. EG.5, like its parent Omicron, appears to spread more easily than its predecessors.
The medical profession is encouraging everyone to voluntarily take all precautions.
- • Wear masks in crowded indoor spaces
- • Get booster vaccines, especially the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions
- • Look for ways to improve indoor air quality
- • Wash your hands when returning to indoors

CCASA Buffet Lunch
October 19, 2024
CCASA held a Buffet Lunch on October 19, 2024 at Mandarin Palace Restaurant. This was our first lunch gathering since Covid lockdown was lifted in July 2022. We expected to see many of you but only 25 members turned up. For the Executive who expected at least 50 members, this was a disappointment. However, it was great to seeing the support from these members and we all had a great time.
Lucky numbers were drawn by Aiden Ming-Sun. Lucky Winners, Angela Leong, David Ming-Sun, Fong Kee, Ivan Leong, Jay Kew, Joyce Tuling, Milly Schurmann, Tyrone Way and Zoe Zu.
Congratulations!
