Old Habit's Die Hard



Good Morning. It's another brand new week as we mark the halfway point of CB. Daily Dose continues to kick off this brand new week of WFH and HBL.




1) Cross 6000 mark with 596 new cases
Cases in Community -25
Work Permit Holders ( Dorms) - 544
Work Permit Holders (Outside Dorms) -22

While the dorms showed a slowdown, there is an uptick in the community spread. If you add the cases in the community and work permit holders (outside dorms), we still have 47 cases outside of dorms. This is still a relatively large number for a small country. It's not the time to be complacent

2) Children are NOT immune to COVID19

There are 4 cases of children age 5,9,11,12 from the same household. They are linked to a previous case.

Needless to say, try to keep your children home. Do NOT bring them along for your grocery supply runs ( there are many who are still doing that!)

3) McDonald's shutters its doors till May 4

A historical day in the making when McDonald's stops all operations in Singapore including Delivery. That had never happened before. Other fast food chains like BK , KFC , Texas are still BAU. McDonald's had 7 cases of COVID19 prior to closure
