      This is the weird part. At least two years ago, everyone still very careful and trying to avoid in the months up to PSLE.

      Hope most kids can sit for all of the written papers. So much prep work and effort over the last few months would be a bummer to be sitting at home on exam day.
      Last year prelims-Alevels period was long & scary.
      I didn't dare to let younger siblings go to school for the whole week whenever they received health risk warnings for being close contact to infected classmates, in case other HRW classmates turned positive later on & spread to them. Covid number was very high after national day.

      DS1 received HRW during the last week of Alevels & had to ART before leaving house & then ART in sch 1hr before exam. Then he had to take the paper in the center of a separate classroom so that invigilator could pace along the 4 walls.

      At least this year no more contact tracing & related ART stress.

          The number shot up suddenly !
          Nowadays, people don't wear masks. They let their guard down.

          PSLE was over, last week.
          But,
          (O level and A level) are still going on.

                My workplace also suggested we keep our masks on during meetings. Not actively enforced but there does seem to be a bug going around… Or maybe it is XBB. Stay safe and healthy all students taking major exams!!
