Journey through Covid-19

31 May 2020 Ordinary Singaporeans and residents in it together I am glad that someone wrote about ordinary Singaporeans and every resident in the Covid-19 coronavirus fight. When I read Jeremy Au Yong’s Thinking Aloud piece in The Sunday Times titled “Everyone is a Covid-19 Circuit Breaker” this morning, it felt real good deep in my heart.

Much praise and acknowledgments has been heaped on the front-line health care personnel and all other people assisting. They deserve it and we thank them. The fight against Covid-19 coronavirus is not just them and the government policy makers alone.

The whole nation is in it together. More than 5 million citizens, permanent residents, pass and work permit holders have helped.

By staying at home during nearly 8 weeks of Circuit Breaker period and to follow all rules and restrictions is not a walk in a park. Most of us did our utmost to prevent community spread of coronavirus. We know how serious this coronavirus pandemic is to our lives. It has already caused hardship to everyone.

We live each day in a new way. Wearing face masks when we are out of our homes is a visible different. It reminds us that the fight is not over. We have to look out for each other to keep everyone safe whether family or strangers.

Keep up the fight and be vigilant.
