Situation under control in Singapore
This is the 3rd day in a row that no community cases were reported. It gives us hope that the outbreak is well under control, as authorities proactively filter out the virus at the border.
As other countries are struggling to contain the 2nd and 3rd wave of infections, residents in Singapore have much to be grateful for.
We mustn’t take this progress for granted. So do remain vigilant, continue wearing your masks as well as maintaining good personal hygiene.
