Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps delivered a rebuke to a city council member who travelled to Somalia while many stayed home during the holiday season to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Helps said Wednesday she spoke with Coun. Sharmarke Dubow about his recent trip to East Africa and his childhood home in Somalia, telling him the visit was irresponsible, particularly as public health officials are advising against travel during the ongoing pandemic. With so many Victorians making sacrifices this past year to pull together as a community to stop the spread of COVID-19, Coun. Dubow s decision to travel internationally was both disappointing and irresponsible, she said at a news conference.
