Keep to allocated timeslots

Residents of both blocks should receive flyers and SMSes informing them about the timing of the tests.

To prevent overcrowding at the testing site, they should stick to the time slots allocated to them.

Residents must also bring along their NRIC for identification purposes.

We hope the testing operation will be successful in flushing out any cryptic cases at the blocks and prevent further transmissions.

Kudos to MOH for their swift approach in ringfencing our community cases and preventing other residents from contracting the virus.
