In the meantime, it would be wise to continue staying home as much as possible, no matter which part of Singapore you live in. Head out only for essential purposes such as grocery shopping, and try to avoid peak hours if you can.

If you wish to exercise, we have plenty of home workouts for you to try.

We wish those infected a speedy recovery and hope that the number of cases over the next few weeks will reduce significantly.
