The Presidential Task Force on COVID19 #PTFCOVID19 has updated the guideline for places of worship.

Let's all adhere to these guideline to prevent further spread of #COVID19.

The elderly & those with underlying health conditions should worship at home, in order not to expose themselves to #COVID19.

Take precautions to protect your older relatives by wearing a face mask in public, practicing hand/respiratory hygiene & maintaining a physical distance of 2 metres from others.

#Faceshields without #facemask are not effective in #COVID19 prevention.

#Faceshield is not a fashion accessory & must be combined with a mask to provide significant protection. Face shield protects only the face but #facemask curbs the spread of respiratory droplets.
