Green Pulse Ep 17: Coronavirus magnifies importance of a clean
Singapore


11:29 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 how the coronavirus threat
has magnified the importance of the SG Clean movement, and has
changed social norms now and for good.


From the scientific view, proper cleaning agents used islandwide
and at home can also help disrupt the spread of coronavirus.


In the first 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 on 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
