Do the right thing and stay home, everyone! Go out only when you must, but protect yourself. And spread the word (but not rumours 🤐)!

Staying home this weekend?Snuggle up with a good book 📖to beat cabin fever together with your kids.

“Meme the Monkey Wins in Life” is a pictorial book which helps children succeed in a fast-changing world driven by technology, based on the story of Meme the Monkey, who wins in life despite not acing her exams. Find out more about the book here: www.memethemonkey.sg
The government will be setting up a National CARE Hotline to provide support to those who are emotionally and psychologically affected by COVID-19.

If you are a registered professional, such as a psychologist or a counsellor (including those trained to provide counseling and guidance on marital and family issues) or a Social Service Agency that would like to recommend professionals to support our National CARE Hotline, please register your interest at go.gov.sg/nch.

Let's do our part in looking out for those around us. We'll get through this together.

Got questions on the Temporary Relief Fund (TRF)? We have compiled answers to a few of the most frequently asked questions, so you can get replies quickly and share them with those around you with the same concerns. In the meantime, watch this space on online applications for the TRF which will be available very soon!
You can now apply for the Temporary Relief Fund online. Visit go.gov.sg/temporary-relief-fund to submit your application with your SingPass. Online applications start from 9am to 6pm as we monitor its load.

With the major circuit breaker in place, we are encouraging online applications to further reduce need to travel out of home.

For more information on the various types of financial support for those affected by COVID-19, as well as eligibility criteria, do visit http://go.gov.sg/msf-covid19-support. Share this with your family and friends who may need help during this time.

“This is the public health fight of our lifetime, and my colleagues at MSF, ECDA, NCSS and in the social sector have stepped up to play our part in this wide-ranging battle.” - Minister Desmond Lee.

Since COVID-19 started, MSF has been journeying with the community to build resilient individuals, strong families and a caring society through this unprecedented time in history. go.gov.sg/supplementarybudgetdebate-2020

Our social service agencies have been working hard to support the vulnerable, even as their donations and fund-raising efforts have been significantly compromised. NCSS will introduce The Invictus Fund (https://www.comchest.sg/theinvictusfund), which will channel donations to SSAs that deliver critical services to vulnerable groups in our community.

We will get through this together. #SingaporeTogether #SGUnited
