Stay vigilant even in Phase 3
Phase 3 begins today, more people will be allowed to gather in slightly larger groups, especially when going shopping and dining out.
Do remember that as we’re still in the middle of a pandemic, being socially responsible is still the way to go to ensure that community cases will not spike.
So mask up, practise good hygiene, and try your best to keep a safe distance from others.
