Treated hospital staff despite slow business

Due to the virus outbreak in Singapore, local eateries are suffering a loss in customers.

Despite so, the owner Mr Sam Lim did not hesitate to reach out to hospitals, after seeing instances of healthcare workers being ostracised in public.

Similarly, Carrara Café is also receiving fewer orders and walk-in customers at his Bukit Merah store.

Alexandra Hospital staff is said to have visited the store often as it is located mere minutes away from the facility.

Hence, the owner wanted to surprise his regulars with a nice gesture and encourage Singaporeans to remain united in the face of Covid-19.

Thank you for doing what you do….To care for those under your charge is to care for us all. The time we have robbed away from you and your loved ones has kept us all safe. This is our little effort to take care of you.

It is in these little gestures our healthcare workers find the strength to carry on.
