Keeping to the rules

As Singapore is still working to combat the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important that everyone follows Phase 2 rules pertaining to gathering sizes.

Even as we transition to Phase 3, during which larger gatherings will be permitted, let’s hope that we all remain vigilant to safeguard everybody’s well-being.
