SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Friday appealed to older Singaporeans to stay at home for their own safety during the"circuit breaker" period.
The task force has deployed Forward Assurance and Support Teams in all the dorms. These teams work closely with the dorm operators and can respond quickly to the workers’ essential needs. They are setting up medical facilities and triage clinics, bringing in supplies and food, and managing the logistics and housekeeping. They are making sure the workers have food and water, and WiFi to keep in touch with families back home and friends here, and for entertainment.
Outside the dorms, the number of cases in the general community has also gone up. Many of these cases are unlinked. We do not know how they got infected, or from whom. So the persons who infected them are probably still out there, and still infecting more people. As I explained last week, we expected this to happen, and to see the numbers go up even after the circuit breaker took effect. The reason is most of these cases were probably infected earlier, before the circuit breaker started.
This is why I need each of you to take the circuit breaker very seriously. Stay at home; stop socialising in person with others, even with extended family members who do not live with you. Keep in touch with them but by other means, for example online, on the phone, writing emails or even letters. But do not make physical contact, because that is how the virus is spread. Please comply not just with the letter of the rules, but their spirit.
So please stay home. Use this chance to spend more time with your family, or watch your favourite TV programmes. If you need anything from outside, ask others to get it for you. If you have really no choice but to go out for food or necessities, make sure you wear a mask, and stay a safe distance away from everyone else. Do not linger and do not dawdle – come home once you have completed your errand.
One of the most level-headed nation leaders in the world.
Cudnt have been said better or more effectively. Needs to be translated to all languages and played throughout the world. And very touching gesture towards foreign workers!!

Thank you Singapore

First world leader that actually gave a real world, fully understandable explanation of COVID-19! 👍
I'm gratified by Singapore PM Lee's message and the sober tone of his delivery. As an American, the way in which our president, Trump, has addressed COVID-19 is frighteningly cavalier, largely contributing to the shocking numbers of cases and deaths.
God save us all.
Waiting for his dialect speeches... where’s the flask with the magic drink?
Sir, the elderly are a stubborn lots. To be honest with you. Most of them are out. Even their own children can’t stop them.
