COVID-19 is a pandemic that has just exposed the weakest points in every country, including Singapore. Without immediate intervention to curb this shock to the most vulnerable social groups, the social costs of this outbreak would be drastic and irreversible in the short and medium-termsWe hope that this effort sets the pace for social-minded groups to come forward with their innovative ideas to address some of the biggest social challenges and issues post the COVID-19 pandemic.
