Second, be socially responsible and test yourself if you are meeting seniors or someone vulnerable.

Said Minister Ong: “If you are meeting seniors or someone vulnerable, test yourself before going out. If you have ARI symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat or fever, test yourself daily, as a positive result may only develop some days after onset of symptoms.”

“Being socially responsible is key for us to weather through this current wave.”

Indeed.
