On behalf of all of the staff at CLAIR Sydney, I would like to wish all our readers a Happy New Year.
In the past two years, the lives of the people of Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of the world have changed in unprecedented ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost every country in the world has been faced with the challenging and arduous task of managing the pandemic and combating the virus. CLAIR Sydney staff hope that the situation will improve significantly in this new year with the high vaccination rates, development and availability of new drugs, and the collective actions of the people in the world.
CLAIR Sydney has continued our activities on a reduced scale in the past two years. Although most of our activities are still online-based, since the easing of restrictions in New South Wales, we have restarted our in-person activities by taking part in events in a COVID safe manner. You can find reports of our recent activities in this newsletter. We hope that we can have many more opportunities to meet you at upcoming events and meetings in this new year.
We hope that you will take care of yourself and that you, your family, and the wider communities around you will stay well and healthy in 2022.
