Pandemic Borders
The COVID-19 pandemic threatens Singapore’s very existence as a global trade hub.
In this two-parter, we see how the island is keeping its borders open, to keep goods and people flowing, while keeping the virus and its deadly variants at bay.
We spotlight the everyday heroes at our borders that take on the risk of contracting a mutating virus.
