Please try to strictly comply with Social Distancing. I strongly discourage travelling
because we really want to be able to contain the virus and limit its spread. Community
quarantine also helps contact tracing. This will allow easier identification of those who
may have been exposed or infected, thus making early intervention possible.
We have to also consider how we may be the ones spreading the virus, and how we
want to limit exposure of those in vulnerable groups—the elderly and those with other
existing health conditions.
