Lakemba MP Jihad Dib has shared a message for Arabic communities in Sydney as authorities race to contain a COVID outbreak.

Mr Dib told Ray Hadley a number of ethnic communities in Sydney may not understand the message being spread by health authorities.

“I don’t want them to listen to a message in English, where they might understand 70 per cent, if they can understand 100 per cent in their own native tongue.”

A Vietnamese doctor has shared the same message for his community.
