Stay safe in P3HA

Singapore officially enters a new phase of reopening tomorrow. Covid-19 cases are still present in our community, and the situation requires us to remain vigilant.

Dine-ins are possible again but do note that authorities and health experts consider F&B settings as high-risk places.

Be sure to remove your mask only when eating and drinking and promptly wear it back once you’re done.

Take care, and stay safe, everyone.
