Having volunteered during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) epidemic in 2003, part-time nurse Helen Wee wanted to play her part in the current coronavirus outbreak as well.
Besides helping to distribute masks, Madam Wee, vice-chairman of the residents' committee (RC) at Bishan North Zone 1, also teaches recipients how to use the masks properly.
