Mask up, get your updated vaccine and stay home if unwell
Singapore is experiencing a higher-than-usual number of COVID cases. Some helpful steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones:
1️⃣ Feeling unwell? 🤧
🔹 Stay at home and avoid contact with others.
2️⃣ Wear a mask 😷
🔹When visiting or interacting with vulnerable persons
🔹When in crowded places, especially indoors
3️⃣ Stay updated with your vaccination 💉
🔹Immunity wanes over time. Get the updated vaccine, free of charge, if your last dose was more than a year ago
🔹Get an updated vaccine shot if your last jab is over a year old, especially if you are aged 60 years and above, or medically vulnerable. Those vaccinated within the past year are less likely to have severe medical outcomes.
🔹 Locate your nearest vaccination site at https://gowhere.gov.sg/vaccine
🔗For more info: go.gov.sg/15dec-covid19-update
There has been a rise in COVID-19 cases recently. Wear a mask if you are in these settings. Let’s all do our part to stop the spread.

Police Alert - New Phishing Scam on WhatsApp
• When using online search engines, the query “WhatsApp Web” may produce returns that include links to fake websites.
• When victims click to access a fake website and scan the QR code provided, this allows a scammer to log into the victim’s WhatsApp account from a new linked device.
• Scammers then impersonate victims & ask the victims’ contacts for transfer of monies or personal/banking details.
1️⃣ ADD security to your use of WhatsApp by enabling the ‘Two-Step Verification’ feature. Activate your notifications to be alerted to changes to linked devices.
2️⃣ CHECK that you are using the official WhatsApp Web website - https://web.whatsapp.com. Check your “Settings” for unauthorised linked devices. Be wary of unusual requests from your contacts whose accounts may be compromised.
3️⃣ TELL and report fraudulent transactions to your bank and Police immediately.
