During the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of cases is getting higher.
The pandemic does not seem to end very soon. Many of us feel disappointed that we cannot go travelling, shopping or playing outdoors. We must stay at home.
The frontliners are very tired and some of them are at the verge of breakdown. Their lives are very different from ours. They do not get the chance to enjoy their breakfast, lunch or even dinner. In fact, they lose their appetite as they need to work almost round the clock. Their rest time is only a few hours of lying down on the bench or on the floor.
The frontliners are extremely busy 24 hours every day. The doctors and nurses are in the hospital looking after the Covid-19 patients. They have to wear the uncomfortable PPE suits that do not allow them to drink more water to avoid frequent toilet trips. While they are sacrificing their own health and safety for the sake of our well being, I feel that most people are still taking this virus lightly.
If you want to help the frontliners, please wear a mask whenever you go out. Never go out unnecessarily and stay at home.
Lastly, always wash your hands frequently and follow the SOPs strictly. To all the frontliners out there, we really appreciate what you are doing for us. We will always keep you all in our prayers. May God bless you all with good health , strength, patience and perseverance. Keep up your good job!
