WHAT MUST BE DONE DURING THE STAY-HOME NOTICE (SHN) PERIOD

1. Remain in your place of residence at all times during the SHN period
   
   Do not leave your residence, even if it is to purchase food and essentials. If necessary, you may opt for home delivery services or enlist the assistance of others for your daily necessities.

   If applicable, inform your employer or school that you have been issued a SHN as soon as possible.
        
   

2. Minimise contact with others, and avoid interaction with others in your residence
   
   Avoid interaction with others you live with. You are prohibited from coming into contact with other persons (who do not stay with you) within 2 metres, other than for the purposes of receiving delivery of food or other essential supplies.
   
   If sharing a house with others, stay in your own room as much as possible and use a dedicated toilet if possible. 
   
   The prohibition against leaving your residence is strict. You are not permitted to leave your place of residence to use common facilities in your estate/building such as the pool, gym, or playground.
   
   Avoid interactions with vulnerable persons, for example, seniors aged 60 and above or persons with underlying health conditions, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Consider alternative accomodations if these interactions cannot be avoided.
   
   
3. Only leave residence for your scheduled COVID-19 test appointment
   
   You may only leave your residence for your scheduled COVID-19 test appointment at the designated testing facility, and you must return back immediately to your residence after the test.
   
   You should use your own private vehicle or pre-booked taxi to travel to the testing facility and back. If you use a taxi, you should only book one from the list of contact numbers provided.
