May 19 is exactly 2 weeks after the May holidays started.
Not re-opening for every student...Cool nurse\" post_id=\"1975742\" time=\"1589428926\" user_id=\"185329:[quote=\"Cool nurse\" post_id=1975742 time=1589428926 user_id=185329]Hi parents!

Is school really reopening on May 19?
My children's school never informed the parents anything about this...
But for those who need assistance or extra help, eg. the graduating cohorts.
Or projects/ consultations/ remedial, I suppose.[/quote]
My guess is, the teachers are unofficially back to work on May 19 after their protected rest time of 2 weeks.
Cool nurse, you have a P6 so better check with your P6 teachers whether the are having any F2F supplementary lessons for the graduating batch. -

Cocktail bar, Italian restaurant call it quits amid COVID-19 challenges for F&B sector
SINGAPORE: From S$1,726 in February to S$1,545 in March and then S$723 in April. The average daily sales at downtown cocktail bar Jekyll & Hyde steadily dropped as the COVID-19 pandemic hit business.
By April, sales were down by 70 per cent compared to five months ago in November, as the bar could only do deliveries and takeaways once dine-ins were off limits under the “circuit breaker” measures that started on Apr 7.
Even before that, its owner Mr Chua Ee Chien had been busy negotiating with the real estate management company that represents the landlord to reduce rent. Companies in the central business district had begun directing workers to telecommute, and the number of customers he could serve was limited by safe distancing protocols.

Wow, surprised to learn that we have achieve 0 case for FWs residing outside dorm (on 13th May)!

The title looks interesting
However, there’s one statement the ministers like to repeat, “The large number of reported migrant workers cases reflected the current approach of aggressive testings”. Does that mean if govt also conducts aggressive testing for FWs staying outside dorms (and our local community), we will also see large number of cases? -

Certainly there will be cases as yet undetected in the community and among other groups which will be uncovered with aggressive testing, but it would be a relatively small no., I expect. Which is why they probably don't want to do it. And with the weeks of CB we've gone through, most infections will have been discovered and contained.

The main difference, I believe, is the large no. of FWs packed into the dorms before the CB - just having those nos. of people in fairly close quarters sharing bathrooms, dining areas, etc. means there will be more transmission, and the transmission would have continued until they had managed to move out many of them into other places. I think the other types of housing for FWs are smaller (tens instead of hundreds or thousands), and for the community, we live with much smaller groups of people. Other factors that contribute to the no. of cases among FWs are that many FWs are afraid to report sick for mild symptoms (they have fragile job security), or may not understand what symptoms to look out for (because of language difficulties).
