COVID-19 infections are rising at alarming rates in our community and more residents are seeking information and access to vaccines. Catholic Charities of Trenton is partnering with the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) to expand access soon to testing and vaccines in our community.
Community members are urged to continue wearing a mask in public, avoiding croweds, keeping a safe distance from others and washing hands frequently to reduce their risk of becoming ill.
“To get through this pandemic, we have to work together to stop the spread of COVID-19 by sharing our knowledge and taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves,” Dr. Alli said. “We are excited to answer questions and talk with our wonderful Greek organizations that help build a supportive community in our city.”
