Looking for ways to create less waste in the kitchen? You can start with these handy tools!
#SafeDistancing applies everywhere – even when choosing fish and vegetables at the markets! If you have elderly neighbours or family members, help them with their marketing instead so that they can #StayHome and stay safe. #SGUnited
Need your essentials? In addition to wearing a mask to buy essentials at the supermarket, schedule your grocery run on a weekday and avoid the peak periods, or opt for delivery instead. Let’s take #SafeDistancing seriously, and work together to stop the spread of COVID-19. #SGUnited
With close to 5,800 dengue cases in 2020 as at mid-Apr, urgent stepped-up community action is needed. Unless immediate action is taken, the number of dengue cases is expected to exceed the 16,000 cases noted in 2019. Do the #MozzieWipeout as part of your daily routine, and spray aerosol insecticide to kill any adult female mosquitoes, if your family is experiencing more mosquito bites at home. Here’s a short video which shows where you should spray insecticides at home: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2870377276333638

All of us have a part to play in preventing dengue! More information available at www.facebook.com/NEASingapore/posts/2589530181268313
From 22 Apr 2020, access to 4 popular markets will be restricted based on the last digit of patrons’ NRIC or FIN numbers, to ensure effective #SafeDistancing and safeguard public health. Patrons with NRIC/FIN ending with:
- an even last digit (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) can only visit on the even dates of the month
- an odd last digit (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) can only visit on the odd dates of the month

These 4 markets are Geylang Serai Market, Block 104/105 Yishun Ring Road (Chong Pang Market), Block 20/21 Marsiling Lane Market, and Block 505 Jurong West Street 52 Market. More information available at www.facebook.com/NEASingapore/posts/2589759427912055

Underripe bananas do not have as much sugar content as their ripe counterparts, but overripe bananas are full of antioxidants and can be digested digested more easily. Best part? The latter makes the best baked treats and are delicious in smoothies! Read more in the article here: https://bit.ly/3bpWRmL

It’s May the 4th! Saving the earth is in your hands, so may the force be with you.
