Singapore: Life in a time of COVID-19 has seen the unprecedented closure of international borders, massive societal and trade disruptions and heightened market turmoil and uncertainty. To control the spread of the COVID-19 virus and mitigate against risks of infection, we are continuously reminded to practice good personal hygiene and observe social responsibility including adopting social distancing measures.
