It is heartening to learn that Singaporeans are penning notes of support and encouragement to front-line healthcare workers. Without these selfless workers, the fight against the coronavirus would be an uphill battle.

I also extend my gratitude to stakeholders in the education sector.

Thanks to the Ministry of Education for its prompt implementation of measures in response to the outbreak. Such a move is key to ensuring minimal disruption to school activities planned before the outbreak.

I also appreciate the executive and administrative staff for stepping up cleanliness in the school compounds.
