The teacher flew off just BEFORE (14th) March Hol started. She took leave on 13th March. She could have flown on 12th evening. Not sure when she was back thou.

So she kena LOA by school?

if this Teacher flew off on 13 March, one day just before 14 March,
then this Teacher need not be served LOA by school, because the MOE content inside stated ON or AFTER 14 March, then compulsory 2 weeks LOA


No mention of 13 March, No Mention of \"BEFORE 14 March\", by MOE.
So, this Teacher WONT \"kena LOA by school\"

That's why if after the overseas travel, she become a virus carrier, then she can infect her immediate community around her, eg. her own family members, her fellow colleagues, etc. Hopefully, she is Not a carrier

Alamak, will kenna lah.

\"To further protect the education system, MOE, MSF and ECDA will implement additional precautionary measures over and above MOH's measures. As some have travelled overseas during the March school holidays, we will issue a 14-day Leave of Absence (LOA) to students and staff of schools, preschools and student care centres who have been out of Singapore on or after 14 March, which is the start of the March school holidays. Day zero of the 14 days will commence from the date of their return to Singapore.\"

Fly off before 14th March, if not back by 23:59 13th Mar means still out of Singapore right, so will still get LOA.[/quote]I see. Thanks for the explanation. After seeing the spike in imported cases, especially last night, I was worried about my girl as her teacher left earlier for an overseas trip. The rock has been moved away from my chest.

I wonder if we can have masks sent to us from overseas for personal use. Anybody has any idea? My friend in China is very concerned and wish to send me some when she knew that I only have 4 which is given by the G. She has been telling me to wear mask.

I think you have to ask her if China customs will commandeer her mask parcels.

You still don't have masks? There are so many masks in small HDB toiletries and hardware shops now. You must look harder with eyes wide open. I have bought a few more masks that were made in Vietnam, Indonesia and India. I bought some 3M Nexcare masks too. Unity and FairPrice sell fabric ones. I also bought more from my alumni friend who had 100 boxes. I also have many 500ml and 750 ml hand sanitizers and wipes at home.

.zeit, You’re stockpiling supplies fr ard SG? :scared:

China had sent self-contained cubicles to help SKorea set up increase number of mobile treatment rooms. They’ve sent many masks all over to NK, SK, Italy, etc even medical doctors to help Italy cope with increasing number of COVID-19 infected patients.


I wld like to see Trump trying to buy more masks or medical solutions fr China, calling this a China virus!

The earlier batches I bought from korea gave me confidence, wrapped properly and I have given to dh who needed it more than us. Subsequent buy from India was without box! Followed by news of masks from Indo and Vietnam if I remember correctly, some caught without licence to manufacture and another comes with excessive bacteria..so I am not sure if wearing the masks at home that comes without box is any better than not wearing..so have been heeding what G says, wear masks only when sick :sad: past 2 days I passed by some pharmacies..but no stock.

For masks, Raffles Hospital’s Raffles Connect app.


I bought through them as I trust their quality. There was a brief period OOS but supply has come in recently & they said can collect already.

They even set up a pop-up kiosk next to the Fun Toast outlet so that u don’t need to enter the hospital & worry about catching infections.

Fair warning though, the pop-up store can get crowded with long Q, depending on demand.

I didn't manage to get from Korea, but I have some Jap masks from my last trip. How come India one has no boxes? Indon also come in nice boxes. Vietnam masks are mostly 4-ply with brand-embossing like all Taiwan masks. You can actually spot excessive bacteria? Like black or mouldy spots? They have sealed the plastic with heat sealing machine but not sure if the packers wore gloves, hair nets and masks when sealing! :nailbite:

There's no need to wear in open places. Wear one if you're waiting to pick up child after tuition class, on public transport or in a crowded lift. Save your masks for the BIG WAVE, like 1,000+ cases. I predicted 500 by end of April. Based on the current trajectory, I think we could hit 500 by end of Mar easily. A barrier is better than no barrier.
