Let’s usher in the Year of the Rat 🐭with this artwork by Law Yean Cheng, a designer in BizPower, a centre-based programme of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Singapore which develops the vocational skills of young adults and engages them in gainful employment. With a keen eye for detail, Yean Cheng often portrays modernrealism with a tinge of surreal in her designs.

As the Wuhan coronavirus situation evolves, we are stepping up precautionary measures in our social and community services.
We are reaching out to our frontline social services - for example, Early Intervention Centres (EIPIC), Disability Day Activity Centres, Family Service Centres, Student Care Centres, Social Service Offices, social residential facilities such as children's home and senior group homes, and more https://go.gov.sg/msf-directories - who have sustained interaction with vulnerable groups (such as children and seniors) to implement the following measures.
Staff who have returned or are returning to Singapore after visiting Mainland China should:
(1) inform their institutions of their travel history and;
(2) take a Leave of Absence (LOA) for 14 days upon their return.
This applies to all affected staff returning to Singapore:
(a) on and from tomorrow, 28 Jan 2020, as well as
(b) between 14 – 27 Jan 2020.
Counting from the date of return to Singapore, they should return to work only on the 15th day.
This is a precautionary measure to protect those whom we collectively serve, as well as our social service and community workers.
To illustrate:
i. If a social service worker returns to Singapore from Mainland China tomorrow 28 Jan 2020 (Day 0), they may return to work on 12 Feb 2020 (Day 15), provided they are well.
ii. If they had returned to Singapore from Mainland China on 14 Jan 2020 (Day 0), they may return to work on 29 Jan 2020 (Day 15).
iii. If they will be returning to Singapore from Mainland China on 3 Feb 2020 (Day 0), they may return to work on 18 Feb 2020 (Day 15).
Employers should grant the LOA as paid leave over and above the affected staff's annual leave entitlement, and monitor their health.
Students in Student Care Centres, children in EIPIC centres/PPIPs and service users enrolled with social/community-based facilities (e.g. Day Activity Centres) with a travel history to Mainland China in the last 14 days are also advised to stay away from the centres and from crowded places, and to monitor their health closely.
We seek your understanding and support for these measures. Let's keep our community, our families and our children safe and healthy together.

Family love is life’s greatest blessing. This Chinese New Year, let’s thank our families for all they’ve done for us. #CNY2020 #MerdekaGeneration
Our MSF Family has been visiting preschools and social service agencies this week to support them in the implementation of enhanced precautionary measures, in light of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) situation. We thank our partners for their preparedness and their hard work. We will reach out to more of them in the coming days to take in their feedback so that we can continue to improve some of our processes.
