Thoughts on Staying At Home

Singapore is closing all schools and non-essential businesses for a month, from tomorrow onwards, to slow down the spread of COVID-19. It is going to be a huge change for Singaporeans, especially those who are already facing difficult circumstances before COVID-19 arrived.

I want everyone to be aware of the immense mental and emotional toll this will take on everyone of us, so we can take care of ourselves better, and fight COVID-19 better at the same time. The Singapore government has also set up a 24/7 National Care Hotline (6202-6868) if you need someone to talk to, and shelters will still be open if you are trying to escape violence in your home arrangements. It is okay to seek help.
