Rainbows Appeared All Over Singapore After A Storm, Sending Us Hope Amid Covid-19 Outbreak

Singapore ventured into a ‘storm’ last month when we had the first case of Covid-19 on our shores.

While the situation might seem bleak with prevalent supermarket frenzies and a rising number of cases, a glimmer of hope shone upon us on Tuesday (11 Feb).

Singaporeans spotted rainbows across the island in the evening after an intense bout of torrential rain in the afternoon.

Weathering the storm together
