      Informative article on what you can and cannot do from June 2:-


      https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/what-you-can-and-cannot-do-from-june-2

      Eg:-

      Q Can I swim in a public pool, play badminton, go to a playground or book a barbecue pit in my Housing Board estate?

      A No. Such sports and outdoor recreational facilities in HDB estates will continue to remain closed to the public. They will likely be able to reopen only in phase two, at least four weeks away.

      Similarly, tennis courts, pools and other recreational facilities in condominiums remain closed. So will private gyms.


      Q Will I be able to get a facial, thread my eyebrows, or go for a manicure from June 2?

      A No, these services remain closed. Beauty salons may continue to sell products online and deliver them to customers.

      However, the good news is that hair salons will be able to offer colouring and chemical treatments from June 2.

        [quote=MyPillow post_id=1976957 time=1589980524 user_id=70594]I am trying the face shield now , after 5 min
        I think it is not comfortable too , though not tight but still feel something band around the head , may get headache ?
        I think I will wear mask ...

        Maybe I will buy 1 to try tomorrow.

        Face shield - cos made of plastic may get blurred vision. Feel like something around the head, may cause headache.

        Face mask - for prolonged hours in school, hard to breathe, brain lack of oxygen so either we become sleepy or giddy or easily frustrated

        You can get the non-fog type of face shield.[/quote]Mine is with the head band ( n sponge )
        Just now I saw unity one , there is an attached spec frame ? Looks more complicated than my simple headband .

          Note: The following was penned by Dr Siew Tuck Wah, medical director and founder of Radium Medical Aesthetics


          This morning, we were informed by the Ministry of Health that aesthetic clinics CANNOT resume operations after the circuit breaker ends on 1 June 2020. The news came as a heavy blow. 2 months with no income and continued overheads was a struggle. But this third month is going to be much worse.

          The first 2 months of circuit breaker saw businesses receiving help in the form of rental rebates from landlords, and wage support schemes initiated by the government. A third month of not operating will mean we have to continue with zero revenue, but without any financial help. Running costs such as rental, manpower, loans all add up to $160,000 - $180,000 a month for an aesthetic clinic like mine. Then there are the consumables, such as toxins, fillers and threads, some of which do not possess long shelf lives. The value of consumables that have expired or are close to expiry already amount to more than $10,000. The common misconception is that aesthetic clinics make a lot of money. In fact, most of the revenue go into purchasing consumables, wages, rental and upgrading of machines in a rapidly evolving field, where customers are always embracing newer, better technology.

          As doctors, we entirely understand the need for social distancing. Indeed, a 2-month lockdown is necessary to stem the spread of Covid-19. But now, I cannot help but feel that these harsh measures imposed on aesthetic clinics from the ministry are driven by more than just public health considerations.

                I am taken back to learn that among the preschool teachers who took the swab tests, a few tested positive.

                Can someone help me ask: Then in this case, primary school and sec school teachers don’t they need to be tested before 1st June too?

                    Am surprised with the outcome of testing of pre school teachers too.

                    Does this mean if we start testing schools, offices etc, we will uncover more cases?
                    How did these people get infected?

                      Did they explain why preschool staffs are subjected to swab test? Did they already suspect something?

                      We are already into the 7th week of CB so does it mean most of these cases are asymptomatic and the virus has been going around amongst this group undetected until now?

                        MOH started with FW, move on to test the vulnerable ones in nursing homes & now the pre-sch staff In prep to segregate those tested positive to protect the very young pre-schoolers once they start going back
