UPDATE: Study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on immigrants (n=308):
- 41% had to use the "food bank", or a service or faith group for food.
-50% feel more sad or worried in comparison with the situation before the COVID-19 crisis.

Immigrants are facing significant challenges as a result of COVID-19. Data from 232 participants in our study shows that because of financial constraints, many immigrants are not able to pay their bills, have to eat less or skip a meal. See the survey: https://t.co/nSzM52hJyP

@DorothyKessle18 @ride300 While we are told to 'stay home' staying active is very important for all age groups. I hope those that do not go out at all, have some active time at home.

[Dorothy Kessler @DorothyKessle18]

@ride300 Initial results show that 26% of people go outside everyday while 3% do not go out at all. We want to hear from you.
