Another reminder on the importance of cleanliness and social responsibility:

[Sent by Gov.sg – 6 Mar]

➡ Many clusters in Singapore can be traced to someone with symptoms attending a gathering although ill
➡ If all of us act responsibly, we will be better able to prevent future outbreaks and carry on with our daily lives

As COVID-19 is spreading globally, we must raise our hygiene standards and exercise social responsibility to contain the spread in Singapore
