Countries must co-operate closely and learn from one another amid the coronavirus pandemic, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Wednesday (8 April), as he gave assurances that Singapore will do its part in the fight against a common enemy.
“This is the only way humanity can bring this pandemic under control. The battle is far from won, but it can be won, if we fight together,” said Lee. “Singapore will do our part.”
Authorities here have also encouraged people to keep safe distances apart and wash their hands, said Lee, adding that people are also now encouraged to wear masks when they go out. These measures are painful but essential, he stressed, adding that the next few weeks would be crucial for the city-state’s fight against the virus.
“I wish everyone strength and wisdom as we deliberate and forge a way forward to good health and a new normal.”
