If you’re looking to go to the CPF Bishan Service Centre either today or tomorrow, you’ll have to adjust your plans.
Because the Service Centre will be closed.
CPF Centre in Bishan Temporarily Closes Due to COVID-19; People to Reschedule Appointment
On 29 Mar 2020, the CPF Board was informed about a Covid-19 patient who visited the centre on 23 Mar 2020 at around noon.
As a precaution, the service centre will be closed for two days, 30 and 31 Mar, for “thorough disinfection”.
The service centre will re-open on Wednesday and members who have made their appointments on Monday and Tuesday will be contacted to reschedule.
Use Digital Services Instead
CPF assures that ever since the Covid-19 outbreak occurred, they have stepped up the cleaning of CPF service centres all across Singapore.
However, they urged customers to use their digital services as much as possible so as to reduce physical interaction within their centres.
You can do so either via their website or through the myCPF App.
Which is pretty good advice, if you think about it, as almost everything in Singapore can be done online.
Government Urges People To Stay Home As Much As Possible
On 28 Mar 2020, the Singapore government released an advisory asking Singaporeans to stay home as much as possible.
Singaporeans are asked to “defer non-essential trips” to the malls and asked to order their food and groceries online as much as possible.
This comes after malls and businesses are ordered to limit the number of shoppers within their premises.
The Covid-19 virus mainly transmits via respiratory droplets and reducing physical interactions can help to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Don’t worry, Covid-19 cannot transmit through letters and parcels so you can still receive letters from your inbox.
Now, if you die-die need to go out, make sure to stick to safe distancing measures put into place by the government.
And by that, I mean the 1-metre and alternate-seating rule in public spaces.
The government has implemented strict rules with regards to safe distancing measures and anyone found “intentionally” breaching these rules can be jailed up to six months, fined up to $10,000, or both.
By the way, the 1-metre rule doesn’t apply to family members and couples. Although, if you see a full table, make sure to sit one table away, yeah?
You can do your part as a responsible citizen through helping out in contact tracing by downloading the TraceTogether app.
