PM Lee posted on Monday, March 2 about a recent weekend trip to the Jurong Bird Park saying that the current lull period for local attractions, caused by the Covid-19 outbreak, made it a good time to visit.

PM Lee added a suggestion that those who are worried about other countries imposing travel restrictions on visitors from Singapore could consider a local staycation instead.
