          I read on ST that there was a Covid-19 virus carrier shopped at Jurong Point NTUC for 1.5hr.


          So I am curious, what if the same thing were to happen to us when we happened to be there at the same place same time? :scratchhead:

          Since GovTech has our contact numbers, will GovTech call each of us to inform us, OR we have to read ST ourselves to find out (then might as well don’t bother to register when we enter). I do not think that for such cases the persons need to be on SHN, just monitor own health and can continue to go out right?

            I went to collect from my CC today. This newer kids size mask is much more breathable & comfortable. Ear loop length fits my kid well. Will probably pack for him to use in school.

            For those who are not able to collect during the opening hours, this kid size mask is actually available in the vending machines (bottom few rows). Just select kids size from the touch screen & the scanner will verify with the kid’s ID.

              My gals are rather petite and the previously issued adult masks were too big. Anyone knows if these teenagers can have the option of having kids sized ones?

                  You can try asking the staff, see if they can exercise some leeway. But the ear loop length is “just nice” for my petite 10 year old. I doubt they would be comfortable length for your girls, unless u supplement with those extenders/ear preservers that go behind the head.

                    Thanks - the vending machines are very conveniently located.

                      i am curious too .... i remembered dh kept asking the safeentry check in app when it first launched whether someone will call the visitors if something happen - :scratchhead:
                      Do they have so many manpower to check n inform all visitors during that period of visit of the infected person?

                      if we need to see from news - then i think it is going to be easily miss out by a lot of people
                      nowadays so many news flying around, tv, wats app, social media fb, inst , twitter etc people eyes n mind are over loaded , low chance to response - unless the venue has become a well known cluster - that means community spread may be sizeable by then 😞

                        Received Principal’s Term 3 briefing letter from son’s school. From the way the wording was phrased, the mask is to be worn as the primary protection against the spread, whereas face shields are supposed to be a less-preferred alternative only, for example if kid has eczema or skin allergy cannot wear the mask for too long.


                        So those parents who let their kids wear face shield only, I’m sure they can infer it doesn’t provide adequate protection.
