  Sacrifice

  This story evokes the message of sacrifice, similar to what we have been feeling during lockdown; it feels as though we have had to sacrifice our recreational lives. However, I have used the theme of sacrifice to show that although we all have to sacrifice something, we are doing it for a good cause and we are doing it to help each other. By sacrificing our outdoor life, we reduce the chance of spreading infection to everyone around us, and if everyone was to agree to this ideology, we would all be helping each other drastically. That is the message being inculcated within my short story; one may have to sacrifice something, but by doing so they are ensuring the wellbeing of multiple others.

  Kimberley Bulletin: Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Responses

  A regular Covid-19 bulletin issued to local indigenous community members and health providers describing hygiene practices, local travel and safe distancing restrictions, background information on covid-19 and available social support using terminology and cultural examples specific to the region. For example, a 'sorry camp' is special area where visiting relatives would stay when attending a funeral in a community, as communities can be extremely far apart. These are subject to the country-wide limit of a maximum 10 people at funerals current at the time of publication. Remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander communities are considered to be at higher risk of severe impacts from Covid-19 than the wider population due to their higher level of chronic health issues, frequently crowded households, and long distance from healthcare. The Kimberley region of Western Australia has unique travel restrictions in place to limit movement between the four Shires, in addition to restrictions on movement across different regions of Western Australia and lockdowns of individual indigenous communities.
