Stay home, take precautionary measures when heading out
With more testing underway, we can expect more community cases to be picked up over the next few days.
This gives authorities the chance to act swiftly by detecting and isolating patients early, thus minimising the risk of transmission.
In the meantime, do try your best to stay home as much as you can. Covid-19 remains the number 1 threat to our community, and it requires effort from everyone to ensure we can beat the virus eventually.
