Call for more to join anti-Zika efforts

The People's Association (PA) is calling for Singaporeans to join in the battle against Zika. While it has activated 10,000 grassroots leaders and volunteers to step up efforts to explain and allay concerns about Zika, more help is needed.

OPs Zika - Call for Community Action will take place in Yishun Street 31 today.
