1. I can't smell the orange: NUS don tested positive for Covid-19 after losing sense of smell Isolation ward at Singapore General Hospital Mr Hugh Mason, an adjunct associate professor at the National University of Singapore's Faculty of Engineering, tested positive for Covid-19 after he realised he had lost his sense of smell.

The post, which has since been shared more than 4,600 times, shows 10 nurses in masks holding up a piece of paper with the message:"We'll stay here for you, please stay home for us". But even though he is physically isolated, he doesn't feel alone, he said. He reads, listens to music, and keeps in touch with his friends and family on social media.

In the post on March 27, she shared a photo of the"lunch" her son had prepared for her, and talked about her fears that she may have to be isolated from her family if the situation in Singapore worsens.
