SINGAPORE - Every time harbour pilot Jimmy Koh boards an incoming vessel to help guide it through Singapore's port waters, he is overcome by a nagging worry that he might catch Covid-19 from its foreign crew.
"Due to the nature of our job, we are required to board all vessels arriving in Singapore, hence we are a little worried as we are facing an 'invisible' enemy," said the 47-year-old.
