Dos and don'ts in a time of Covid-19

I need a new dress. Is it okay for me to go shopping since malls and shops are still open? Before you step out, ask yourself if your errand is absolutely necessary. If it can wait, stay at home. By all means, buy takeaway from your favourite hawker stall, but remember to observe safe distancing when out, and enjoy your meal in the comfort of your home.

I am a senior, or live with an elderly person. Should I be extra careful? Yes. Older people are more vulnerable to Covid-19 as they have a weaker immune system. So avoid crowded places. Remember that you do not have to go to the market every day. Try to go once a week, and during off-peak times. Better yet, your grandchildren can do the shopping for you. Be extra careful with cleanliness and personal hygiene.

I'm getting cabin fever. Is it OK to go out for some fresh air? Generally, this is fine, as long as the place is not too crowded, and you observe safe distancing, with a 1m space between individuals. Go out for a run alone or with a friend, but not for 11-a-side football since this will breach the"no more than 10" rule.
