As long as you weren't there at the relevant times, you won't have been in contact with the cases.

Everyday announce one NTUC outlet, very soon we will see one whole list of NTUC branches, from Jurong to Pasir Ris !!


Very early, we already complained that NTUC packed like sardines, almost every day like that, no social distancing, quite expected lah.

BTW, 1st wet market to be announced is one of those 4 most crowded markets that required odd/even number on your IC to enter.

It's only to be expected - supermarkets are the most-frequented places now. Chances are that there is little or no spread as contact in supermarkets is superficial and short, and everyone is masked these days. Let's wait 2 weeks and see.

I haven't encountered \"packed like sardines\" at any supermarket so far, but I choose to go on a weekday mid-afternoon. I expect that mornings are more crowded. Not sure about evenings.

I found this one, does anyone know if school can wear this? https://publicpeach.com/collections/decor-living/products/bucket-hat-with-face-shield

I am thinking that face masks would be very uncomfortable for my girls to wear in class all day, because it disrupts airflow. I don't know if you have experience with schools disallowing hats in class because I want my daughters to wear hats with face shields instead. It's more comfortable for them.

I go in the morning cos fish/meat fresher, maybe that’s why it’s so packed! Quite expected but nothing has been done? Like cap the number of visits to supermarket to twice a week for every individual?

I have been buying groceries for my parents for the past two months. I insisted they avoid going to the supermarkets as they are already well above 60.

I usually spend more than 30 mins doing grocery shopping. In comparison, I think logging in to enter BreadTalk is redundant as we are unlikely to spend more than 5mins there.

Actually if GovTech doesn’t call to inform me, I can’t recall where exactly I have been to on the 20th May (at a specific timing). Wonder if there is such apps which we can log on to GovTech to check where and when we previously logged in to SafeEntry.

Hi, cute bucket hats will be given to preschool kids, but face shields will be given to primary school kids. There are no news on secondary, PreU+JC+poly+ITE at this moment.

Best to check with your principal if there's any dress code, i.e. specific school monochrome colours allowed only. If your school uniform is navy, but your girls wear a red bucket, will they be booked? If a boy wears a green or a yellow bucket, will he be laughed at by his schoolmates? I think upper primary kids should not wear this bucket over their head for 7hrs.

I suppose the same school uniform rules should apply to cloth masks as well, or are cloth masks treated like bags and pencil cases or like hair accessories and earrings?

Make sure older school pupils in JC, ITE and poly do not wear cloth masks with internet slangs, Guy Fawkes, The Clown, consumer brands, religious symbols, state flags or flags of stateless places, rainbow flags, commercial cartoons, BDSM leopard \"preens\", political messages like “光复xx”/\"Free XX”, silly emojis or suggestive images printed on them. Teenagers tend to be more creative and cheeky, individualistic at times. :evil:

East Asian schools do not have a problem. All wear sterile-looking disposables sold by their govt, but here in Singapore, our govt promote reusable /home-sewn cloth masks.

There're so many cloth masks for pupils to pick from the internet, so need to set some rules.

I wld prefer kids hv neutral colors or std masks/face shields & not those silly or controversial prints. I’ve seen some real hilarious & silly ones. Might get kids teased or verbal bullied. This may reduce kids wasting energy teasing & laughing at each other’s protective fears & distract fr precious engagement time with teachers & peers. Just my preference.

Students and teachers to hv a standard type facial mask? Working adults can hv a fanciful type?
