China News Service, April 10, according to Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" report, in order to protect the elderly, the Singapore government does not allow parents to pick up their children to their grandparents' home every day. If the child needs grandparents ’care, the child needs to be kept with the grandparents throughout the implementation of the blocking measures.
Singapore ’s Minister of Health Yan Jinyong pointed out at a press conference of the Inter-Departmental Anti-epidemic Working Group on the 9th that every time a child is transferred to a grandparent ’s house, it is actually increasing the risk of the grandparents being exposed to the virus. Older people often get sick when they are infected with the virus, so it is necessary to take special care of these people.
He suggested that if both parents who are engaged in the necessary services are unable to take care of the child, they may consider sending the child to a nursery.
Yan Jinyong said that Singaporeans can still visit older parents ’homes, but they should only do so when necessary, and they should reduce contact time and take preventive measures.
