“We’re not creating our own information what we’re doing is we’re really taking that information from Fraser Health, and we’re taking from Health Canada all the health authorities, and essentially we’re combining them into a very easy to understand way for seniors and for the general public to understand,” said Sachal. The infographics have been distributed to the elderly Punjabi population thanks to the power of social media and help from local gurdwaras. “I mean we’re really on all different platforms to make it more accessible for people,” he said. “We notice older adults tend to use Facebook more often.”

The need to reach Surrey residents became even more critical as the pandemic worsened. The city has had over 10,000 cases and is part of the hard-hit Fraser Health region. Surrey is largely a blue-collar immigrant suburb. About 52 per cent of its workers can’t work from home because they do manual labour jobs, according to census data. One-third of residents don’t speak English in their homes. After English, Punjabi is most commonly spoken in Surrey. Since the beginning of the pandemic, researchers have urged health officials to collect data on how the coronavirus is affecting ethnocultural communities, particularly in diverse places like Surrey with high infection rates.
