The RI boy down with Covid, his 64yr family member first saw a GP on 11th Feb then again on 17th Feb, 20th Feb and finally 24th Feb before being tested positive on Wed 26th Feb. :slapshead:

Reminds me of Yong Thai Hang cases, infected patients must see many GPs!! But by then whole family already kena. Hope MOH can do something to improve this situation.

always scary to read no linkage case !

Spore is abit difficult to close sch - due to our National Exams and so called Int GCE O AND A
think about it, pity the students in China, hk , sch had been closed for so long... kids idling ,
working parents also headache abt child care matters, teens at home will become \"unconstructive\" , no effective learnings , middle sch/ sec sch syllabus are important leh :sad:

Ya! I also don’t like cases with no linkage!

I think for Singapore, we are luckier in a sense, our infection rate will not increase by multi-fold overnight. And we don’t have to close down schools unlike them because Singapore’s weather is 四季如夏 !!!

Hong Kong (part of China epicenter) and Japan, or even in South Korea, their temperature should be ard 15+ Deg only. Whereas for SG, now I think it’s around 32Deg with good dose of UV light!

for current term tuition fee paid probably go for tuition..but if current situation persists, would you all let kids go for next term tuition?

tuition centers measure kids temp
some small grps, the tutor will ask the kids if they are well before lessons

It is back to parents n kids need to be social responsible
Sick dun go out ! wear a mask n head to doc asap

think should be quite safe if class not big and kids bring sanitizer and careful with touching face.... so far I feel ok with them no tuition coz not p6 and no exam yet..I shall see how if can take another term of break la .. though catching up may be an issue later on

Aka they have backup plans to roll out e-learning (tutors upload lessons/issue worksheets/give comments etc via email or video feed) should the schools close, they have intention to follow also.

But I dunno how MSF is going to handle it. Or even ECDA for preschoolers.

So full fees still apply? Video conferencing for lessons ?[/quote]

Yeah full fees. They have used the fees to set up their E-learning capacity. Not sure whether the videos are “live interaction” or simply pre-recorded lessons by the teachers (who still have to report to work & record these videos/answer qns).

Even MOE schools have briefed the students, should schools close, students will have to login via SLS platform. School servers cannot handle such high volume of traffic, so they even briefed the kids which levels to login at which times. P6 P5 given priority to login earlier. Then P4 P3...and the lucky P2 P1s get to sleep in till 10 or 11am then login.

If stop tuition, may not be able to get back the same time slot. Especially for her chinese tuition.

So still don’t close schools because precious parents need to go work ?

I am still trying to figure out what \"precious parents\" mean.

Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Syria and Afghanistan snow often.
Occasionally Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt will get snow.
But no snow in UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Yemen, just very nice & cool from Oct - Mar, like Taiwan & HK, minus the moisture.

Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore also have UV light, but still...aircon!

just curious - do you wear a mask when giving home tuition? do you make your tutees wear a mask and sanitize their hands? Or if you go to tutee's home, do parents make you wear a mask and sanitize your hands? Do they need to provide a mask for you every week?
