In light of the ongoing COVID-19 situation in Singapore, the personal well-being of all participants is of utmost importance. Therefore, any individual who answers yes in the following questions are strongly advised to refrain from attending the event in the interest of public and personal health and safety:

The Infectious Diseases Act requires a person who has reason to suspect that he/she is a case or carrier of COVID-19, or has had contact with a person with COVID-19, to act in a responsible manner to not expose other persons to the risk of infection by the disease.

Likewise, on the day of the session, please have your body temperature checked before leaving your home. Should your temperature be higher than 37.5°C, please refrain from attending the session, consult your doctor immediately and rest well at home.
