Social distancing is important to reduce the healthcare burden and workload.
It falls on everyone to be responsible.
To avoid overwhelming our healthcare system into an eventual chaos, reducing the spread is pertinent. Imagine if at any given time, there are more patients a hospital can care for, coupled with the lack of facilities, healthcare workers and resources, it becomes impossible to manage this pandemic. Therefore, by implementing strict control measures, we will be able to manage the rate of spread and the rate of patients getting infected and hospitalised.
Our healthcare has witness immense strain the past couple of weeks, it falls on our responsibility to not add anymore additional burden to our healthcare, our economy and our people who will be most at risk, especially the elderly and the minority.
