Stick to the rules and don't visit anyone if you are feeling under the weather - even if it is just a sore throat and you have tested negative for Covid-19.
Urging Singaporeans to exercise caution ahead of next week's Chinese New Year celebrations, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said at a dialogue on Friday :"As long as you are not well - whether you test negative or not - don't go out.""And if you get tested again and it turns up positive after you have visited people, it is already too late."
The dialogue between Mr Ong, Professor Leo Yee Sin, executive director of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, and Professor Wang Linfa, an expert on emerging infectious diseases at Duke-NUS Medical School, was part of the launch of a Chinese-language book on Singapore's battle with the coronavirus written by Lianhe Zaobao journalists. Mr Ong reminded people that they should take an antigen rapid test before visiting seniors, unvaccinated people or the immunocompromised.
He also reiterated the current permitted group size for social gatherings is five, adding:"Don't break the rules - you can get fined."
