Covid & Kindness

It has been a challenging time for people from all walks of life in Singapore. Especially so are the migrant workers who are staying in the dormitories where the outbreak of Covid has spiralled down the path of multiplication and infective spread.

All of us are doing what we can, to help out in a bid to stem the outbreak.

Simple things like wearing a mask when going out, good hand hygiene help. Every individual act from every individual makes a difference.

Weeks has passed since I first joined in the fight at the dormitories. The same PPE is donned by all the healthcare workers and auxillary support staff, working for hours in each shift. The amount of sweat that comes out from each shift due to the heat always drenches the pants down to knees. If all of us who are stepping up in an effort to stem the outbreak can endure the hours with full PPE, definitely, every one of us as an individual can do our part to wear a mask and practise good social distancing in Singapore.

Even if you are going for an exercise, make it a point to wear a mask when going down or up the lift. This virus spreads the worse in confined spaces and closed air circulation. The mask is ultimately meant to protect ourselves and our family.

It is heartwarming to know that people from all walks of life, not necessarily the frontline, are also contributing with little amazing acts of kindness. The packets of bandung that you see here were graciously offered by Pine Catering though it was not included as they delivered the lunch meant for us.

Let all of us stand in our individual capacity, but united as one Singapore, to overcome these challenging times!
