Green Pulse Ep 18: How NEA works with cleaning crews for
Covid-19-affected premises and households


8:35 mins


Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The
Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing
environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate
change. 


Tune in to this episode to find out about "DID" - duration,
intensity and density - and about how the community and the
authorities can practise the good basic rule of short duration,
low intensity and low density, to break and disrupt the spread of
the coronavirus.


Find out how the NEA helps cleaning crews disinfect and clean
premises, as well as households, associated with identified
Covid-19 cases.


Even common bleach can properly disinfect and help households
remain clean.


In the second of a series of podcast episodes based on The
Straits Times' The Big Story video, ST’s environment
correspondent Audrey Tan chats with a panel of experts to discuss
the importance of personal and public hygiene, as Singapore
continues its battle against Covid-19. Subjects covered are the
drive for cleanliness amid disease, the existing state of
hygiene, the need for a greater appreciation of cleaners and life
beyond Covid-19.


The panel includes:
Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water
Resources Professor Wang Linfa, infectious diseases expert at
Duke-NUS Medical School Mr Edward D'Silva, chairman, Public Hygiene
Council Mr Tai Ji Choong, director of the Department Of Public
Cleanliness, The National Environment Agency (NEA)
