Commuters should monitor their health closely

With various bus terminals under the grip of Covid-19, authorities have preempted commuters may expect delays in their journey.

 

If you’re a regular commuter at any of these places, remember to continue practising good personal hygiene by sanitising your hands regularly.

As authorities do their best to ringfence the infections, you should monitor your health closely and minimise social interaction for the next 14 days.

Seek medical attention right away once there are signs that show you’re unwell, such as fever, cough, sore throat, and flu.
