Don’t let your guard down, stay home as much as possible

The Covid-19 situation in Singapore seems to be stabilising as the number of reported infections is decreasing by the week.

However, we mustn’t let our guard down still. Stay vigilant and abide by safety rules so that we can beat the pandemic for good.

This means staying home as much as possible, wearing a mask when you’re out, and practising good hygiene and safe distancing.
