The question was raised by our aunties from Singapore why the hospital does not make it a requirement for visitors to wear face mask? It think it is a valid concern and especially relevant in wards like HDU where the issue of infections is so critical for the patients and to a lesser extend for the visitors. A proper screening and hygienic precautions similar to the ICU wards should be adopted. So instead of just talking about it, we should take the initiative and don face mask when going into the ward. As such, we will be distributing a mask to everybody this evening.
