JUST IN – COVID-19: Stadiums to be shut, parents banned from leaving children with grandparents daily
Speaking at a multi-ministry taskforce virtual press conference, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said that the government is stepping up enforcement. “Some are... not observing safe distancing when they have to go out for essential purposes such as to buy food.”
Gan, who is also a taskforce co-chair, said, “The key message is really, stay at home. Go out only for essential activities such as to buy food or seek urgent medical attention, not to go and socialise, not to have parties, not to meet each other, not to meet friends. This is very important.” “Because every time you bring your children to their grandparents, we expose them again and again to potential infection,” said Gan.
