She added that she felt that it was the “clearest, kindest, and simplest message being put out by any authority so far”.

Thus, it would also be easier for the older folk to understand more about the situation.

Ms Lim hoped that she could show what the situation is like in Singapore, as a country that dealt with the outbreak relatively earlier than other countries and has seen effective results.
