Tan Tock Seng Nurses Urge Citizens To Stay Home For The Sake Of Healthcare Workers On Frontlines

Tan Tock Seng Hospital Nurses Plead Citizens To Stay Home While Healthcare Staff Fight Covid-19

Earlier this month, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong asked citizens to carry on with their lives in the Covid-19 landscape, albeit more cautiously.

However, in light of latest developments, perhaps it is best if we stay at home instead.

In a Facebook post on 20 Mar, a Tan Tock Seng Hospital nurse urged citizens to stay home for the sake of healthcare staff who are toiling on the frontline.

She reiterates that Covid-19 is now a pandemic, and asks for people to stop spreading germs so that their loved ones can stay safe.

Referencing the rest of the world as a lesson, she highlights a key takeaway that medical supplies are not infinite.

As resources are limited, the nurse preached the age-old logic of prevention being better than cure — which strikes very true in today’s context.

She concludes by reminding us not to take things for granted, and that we should rally together and beat the Covid-19 pandemic.

Taking care of ourselves so they can focus on Covid-19 battle

At the very end, the nurse came up with a very sensible hashtag: #westayhereforyoupleasestayhomeforus

Healthcare workers battling on the frontline already have a lot on their plate. Let’s not add to their burden by being socially irresponsible.

 

Support them by keeping yourself and your loved ones safe today.
