NSTworld Toilet paper is a hot commodity in Covid-19-hit Singapore, HongKong
As fears of the Covid-19 coronavirus spread across the region, pharmacies and supermarkets in Hong Kong and Singapore are running out of basic supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer and especially masks.
IG began distributing the gifts after Singapore raised the viral alert to orange – a critical level. What started as an amusing idea from the company’s local management team quickly spiralled and now its staff and clients have been receiving the care packs in the office and via mail. The gift has proven timely with some banks across the central business district evacuating their offices and requiring employees to work from home.
He said the first packages for clients went out today and they’ll send out more packages as additional supplies come in.
