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.
