As Singapore moves into Phase Two of re-opening and Singaporeans return to workplaces or social activities, the risk of transmission will increase. Everyone needs to play their part to keep Singapore COVID-safe.
How do I minimise the risk of transmission?
Here are some steps to remember:
For individuals and families
Maintain overall cleanliness and hygiene
Wash hands often with soap or hand sanitisers, especially after touching common spaces
Use a tissue when you sneeze or cough, and dispose of it properly
Throw used tissues and masks into trash bins
Wear a mask at all times when outside
Stay home if you fall ill, see a doctor and do not doctor-hop
Avoid sharing food and crockery. Clear used trays and crockery after meals if dining out
Avoid shaking hands, consider other forms of greetings instead
Practise safe-distancing, avoid crowded areas and minimise time spent outside
Pay special attention to seniors and other vulnerable groups. For example, you could bring them groceries and other essentials.
Facilitate contact tracing efforts by downloading TraceTogether, and using SafeEntry wherever it is used
At work
Employees to telecommute by default, where possible
Employers to implement a safe-management system:
Work-from-home arrangements, staggered working hours and breaks, split team arrangements
Regular disinfection of common touch points
Keep 1 metre apart at all times
Employers to monitor employee’s health and have evacuation plans in the event of a confirmed case
Avoid physical meetings
Avoid socialising with colleagues at and outside of the workplace. Connect via other digital means instead.
Avoid planning events that could draw large numbers of employees
At school
Students to remain in their respective classes and avoid mingling with students from other classes, including during recess and break times
Students should head home after school and school-related activities
For seniors
Continue to stay at home, keep in touch with family and friends digitally
Avoid crowded places, such as the market, and get others to help with essentials
