Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

[Estéema]

Heard Popular had closed their 18 stores in M’sia. Rental can kill a bz when aggressively expanded in good times. Once they close, it’s so easy to retrench staff.

Hope I am not being paranoid... at public dining places, masks are off as one need to eat. I am imagining the virus flying all over the air.... Told my hb we better avoid public places whenever we can, at least for 2 weeks. So dining will still be at home on fathers' day too.

For those who need to do your shopping and eating outside during Phase 2, please stay safe.

Nothing to be paranoid about lah, remember, we used to walk around without masks even when daily cases pass 70+!

This weekend I expect large crowd (plus it’s Father’s Day). If too crowded for our own comfort, then just dabao back.

Already told hubby to take leave on a weekday to shop and have a meal in a restaurant. Once phase 2 starts, means FWs will come out to work, take MRT/buses to Mustafa/Chinatown during weekends and tourists will also start coming in soon. SG will become crowded again and cases will likely spike! Just after CB, think our community now quite “clean”, want go enjoy faster go! Who knows what will happen next.

That piece of news is dated in March. Drive through and delivery are operating, and some restaurants are now open, though with reduced hours and menu.

Hi, I would like to ask for some opinions on ear extenders for face masks for young children (e.g comfortable or if they will pull at the hair or keeps sliding down etc) and if there are recommended places to buy them? Thanks.

... while some hesitate, others snapped up places within hours of that phase 2 announcement. Several popular restaurants are already fully booked by now for the opening weekend.
Mall operators are discretely recruiting lots of \"safe distancing ambassadors\" for the opening weeks.
Many KS planning to be 1st in their fav mall by 10am Friday. Even if nothing to buy or eat, just walk walk.

careful hor, this Friday (19 June), situation can become like this

ammonite, ear extender as in those pulling the loop away from the back of the ears ? I remember seeing it at the online platform but never go and check it out as right now alternate schooling week still bearable.
