38 new imported cases as 200,000 Singaporeans may return

Of the 73 cases, 38 are imported. The list includes both Singaporeans and long-term residents.

 

Health Minister Gan Kim Yong warned that there’ll be more imported cases in the coming weeks as Singaporeans return from overseas.

There are also a growing number of unlinked cases — today, there were 8 new ones. We’re not sure if this is a sign of community spread.

Singapore cannot neglect social distancing in fight against Covid-19

Now that entertainment outlets will be closed from 27 Mar onwards, it’s become more important than ever to practice safe distancing.

It’s also doubly important that those returning from overseas observe their Stay-Home Notices (SHN) properly. Not only because there’ll be possible fines and a jail term, but also to protect others.

We can celebrate once we’ve beaten Covid-19. Until then, we have to be vigilant and hygienic.
