Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates
-
Since school reopens after CNY, I was super stressed the last 3 days but yet on the other hand, have to put up with the brave front. There are folks totally ignore MOE precautionary 14 days LOA. I don’t know what to say about these parents. Ignorance or purely selfish? Now can only pray for the next 14 days from this weekend, nothing explosive news.

It is everybody duty who stay in Spore to be vigilant , dun act Blur when one is not well or have contacts with related cases
Summary from One FM 91.3 Interview with Dr Leong Hoe Nam, Infectious Disease Specialist.
• Golden Rule – Don’t touch your FACE. Your face is sacred.
• SINGAPORE is ready. SINGAPORE will survive mass transmission better than most countries. Singapore is really well prepared for 2019-nCoV virus outbreak. We have plans for all scenarios.
• Local transmission is almost guaranteed. And likely to happen soon. Avoid big groups and events when local transmissions start.
• Kiasu-ism may hamper our effectiveness in fighting infections.
• Do not overload hospitals with common ailments.
• Prolonged exposure to infected person increases risk of infection.
• Virus can stay alive on surfaces for 30 to 60 minutes. Wash tables with detergent and water.
• Touching infected surfaces and then touching face increases risk of infection.
• Casual high-5 followed by washing of hands reduces risk of infection.
• Use sanitisers with alcohol. Keep hands dry. Sanitisers do not work if your hands are wet. Dry your hands.
• Wash hands with soap and water before wearing masks.
• Handshakes can pass virus if the infected person has touched his nose.
• No effective supplements but Vitamin D (not really proven conclusively) may help prevent development of pneumonia
• 3 ply masks better than 2 ply ones. Wear with blue side facing out.
• Mask protects others from infected wearer and protects wearer from viruses from the outside.
• N95 masks work but it is uncomfortable and results in wearer adjusting mask often, increasing risk of infection.
• Do not touch any part of your face before washing your hands. Your face is sacred. Flinging your hair against face increases risk of contamination.
• Avoid large crowd such as large exercise classes.
• Cn2019 can spread even if infected person shows no symptoms.
• 3-4% fatality rate but rate is likely to come down.
• Visiting clinics - do not touch face and avoid touching chairs etc unnecessarily.
• Avoid seeking medical attention at Hospitals for minor colds etc to avoid overloading our healthcare systems.
• Wearing caps increases risk of trapping viruses. -
"OH! 我不知道MOE有这个规则。 为什么要针对我们。 我的孩子新加波人哦。“
Nothing about China folks. Maybe it is because these folks are already behaving as such, self entitled, causing others to feel "angry" about them? I don’t know. -

Don’t fret LC. I know a learning centre all teachers did not return to China bcoz this year’s CNY holiday is too short to justify a trip. I saw one of her regular posting & she had a CNY dinner with her teachers & showed her kids, making remarks missing the chance to spend time with their grandparents. Her family had been in Spore for >19 years & naturalized & her boys are with RI, so I guess some teachers wld hv question their travel declaration & monitor their health.

I was checking with DS ‘s few classmates whom I know parents fr China, most didn’t make trip back this year. Quite a relieve. I’ve learnt to relax a bit more whilst staying vigilant to watch if the situation changes. Let’s keep each other level headed & sane. -
Estee, but these 3 students did returned from China recently leh. One of them was in my child’s class. Yes I have to worry for my kid and others in the class as well.

Then, you hv every right not just as a parent but as a Singaporean, to insist the sch authority send them home with 14 days of LOA. I wld just do that, just as I’ve asked them point blank if they’ve gone back to hometown (but in nicer tone lor).

We did informed the school after my child told me. School teacher and principal were informed. Only a handful of parents did advised that parents on Wed and Thur, then came that statement from her. We gave up talking to her nicely. We leave it that way and let the school handle. That child missed school on Friday. Now the whole class is pending to be quarantine, to be confirm over the weekend. Siao liao.
Guess what some kids told me that this child even went to the same tuition on wed. Crazy right? -
yesterday 人日cannot celebrate with in-laws. sigh

When DS1 heard it, he was super angry. I have never see him flared up so angrily. He has never missed school for more than 1 day in school per year before.

It’s really comforting to hear him explain things. He was a SARS survival himself & had been giving many many reassuring talks & how to handle our hygiene requirements to keep ourselves safe.
Saw a young pregnant mum & shared with her what Dr Leong said abt the thin white unprotective masks she was wearing & told her abt the 3-layered blue surgical masks. I was concern for her health
