I do hope my teens can go out with friends after 21 nov.. they have resorted to meeting online weekly or so to play games, chat and bond..:(

Going out in pairs does not seem like an option to them.. if go out, must be with whole group of friends, else according to them, it is like ‘forsaking’ the rest, that’s their logic anyway..

For younger teens, that's the way they think. For my daughter, now in her 20s, she meets her friends one at a time, but they also have a zoom call with everyone periodically.

Lol. I read until I got cross-eyed. Talk about double negatives. Why don't they just say Singapore is now banned from EU? Easier, right?

Not ban I think…it is a recommendation, not legally binding so up to authorities of respective countries to implement… it was mentioned some of these countries open up first…maybe not much change?

My German friend who has been working in Singapore for 3 years, went back to Germany last week, if the EU just say Singapore is now banned, then how could my German friend return home?

There are many people travelling between Singapore and EU countries every day and therefore cannot just say \"Banned\".

[quote]- Running a fever of 38.8 degrees Celsius, Ali's temperature subsided after taking ibuprofen, a fever medication. But his temperature rose again, consistently staying above 38 degrees Celsius.

- Other symptoms, including involuntary jerking in his sleep, bruised hands and feet, and stomach pain soon appeared.

- Five members of the family - Mr Mohamed Azmi Lendang and his wife Ms Cacanindin, together with Ali and his two elder siblings - had contracted COVID-19 in September and recovered. The youngest daughter, aged one, and their domestic helper did not contract the disease.

- Doctors diagnosed him with multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a rare condition that affects some children in the weeks following a COVID-19 infection. [/quote]https://i.imgur.com/gUVObQB.jpg\">

I can’t imagine if I have 2 children aged 4 and 14 years old and I have to suddenly leave them at home alone.
