DAILY DOSE : COVID19 headlines Apr 11




3000 warnings, 40 fines and 20 police cases


Good morning. Daily Dose kicks off with news that matters to Singapore on Covid19.

@ Singapore



1) Start of the long weekend and everyone is coming out to play.



Old habits die hard. Instead of staying home this long weekend, you have families heading out to parks, cyclists and runners continue to defy the advisories and long queues of people at the wet market.


It has already been stated clearly, exercise on your own. Not have a day of fun cycling and flying kites with kids in the park!

For those exercise fanatics who had a sudden urge to exercise since the pandemic started.This is not the time to start now, especially when you 'jio' your friends to join you. We know you want a buff body but with socialisation limited to Zoom apps, it is really not necessary at this time.

As for those who lament queues are everywhere in markets, consider heading to supermarkets to get your groceries. I did it today at 6am. ZERO Queue and hardly a soul to siam.

2) 198 cases 71 unlink 1 death

On Apr 1 , we had 1000 cases, in just 10 days, we hit over 2000.

MOH reported 198 cases yesterday with 71 unlink case and the 7 official death - an 86 year old Singapore Citizen. In addition new clusters were identified
Dormitory at 31 Sungei Kadut Ave (case 1731,1735,1830,1831)
ICA Building (case 1553,1650,1698,1733)
Renovation site at NUH Case (14 cases)

It took us 2 months to hit 1000 and only 10 days to double that. At the rate we are going. 3000 is just a few days away.

Time to wake up from our slumber and take this seriously!

3) 200 non-essential business ordered shut, bubble tea outlet fined for no safe distancing measures.

Don't mess with the law. It is there to safeguard us. Everyone is affected in this pandemic one way or another. While we understand the need to work, defying the law will only make the pain longer. 200 non-essential business was ordered shut as a result.

As for Bubble Tea. They should just close it already. Why is it even essential in the first place?

It's a place where young people would flock to. Some would even designate it as meeting spots despite the no socialising advisory.



4) What's the end game for COVID-19
