Phase 3 Heightened Alert

Question

Hi, mummies with young children, what is your take on this heightened alert? I have a 1 year old, ever since the heightened alert announcement I had put many of my plans to bring my LO out on hold, including going to outdoor parks/attractions etc during the weekdays. I am currently having break from work and felt like I am wasting my leave. Had staycation booked this coming weekend and the heightened alert kind of dampened my mood. Kind of kiasi as my hub and I are not vaccinated and baby still young. Trying to strike a balance between being vigilent and allowing time to explore SG (as per what I planned initially when I took leave so that can go out and avoid any crowd, now already wasted 4 weekdays T.T). Can share your views?

Try not to bring your lo to shopping malls and places that are bound to have lots of people. I think going to the park or walking around sg is good but ensure that you keep a good distance among others. Do practice good hand hygiene as well. If your lo is ok with wearing face shield, let your lo wear it. Anyway been vaccinated doesn’t mean that you won’t get the virus, so even if both of you are vaccinated, you will still need to adhere to the safe distancing and wear mask at all times if you are outside.
