Reminder about the vulnerable groups in this pandemic:

[Sent by Gov.sg – 5 Apr]

COVID-19: Keeping our seniors safe

Our seniors are the most vulnerable group
Many have weaker immunity
More likely to have other health conditions
Have higher risk of severe illness and death from the virus

To our Seniors
– Stay at home as much as possible
– Don’t go to the market
– Ask someone for help with your marketing and essentials
– If you have to go out, wear a mask

For those with seniors in the family
– Help the seniors with their marketing and essentials
– If you are unwell, do not visit or go near to seniors

The health of all depends on each one of us.
