13:24 Min

Develop a roadmap for future pandemics, clearly laying out how the authorities will weigh various factors in deciding what restrictions to impose, along with the level of support that will be given to individuals and businesses. Having more information and understanding about how decisions are made will help the public plan and be psychologically prepared for the ups and downs that will come with any such crisis. MP He Ting Ru issued this call in Parliament on Monday (Mar 20). She suggested that a system be worked out to ensure better integration of information among Government agencies so that processes can be made smoother and more efficient. Ms He also spoke about addressing the impact that COVID-19 has had on mental well-being, children’s development and the gender wage gap. Highlighting the issue of "long COVID", she urged the Ministry of Health to track its incidence so that it can uncover whether certain groups are more adversely affected and what targeted support can be given to sufferers, especially those whose ability to study and work may be impacted.
