Smooth start to ART kit distribution exercise

The nationwide distribution of antigen rapid test (ART) kits got off to a good start yesterday morning.

At a housing block in Compassvale Crescent, Ms Shirley Chee Bee Leng went around with a trolley stacked with 140 packages, each containing 10 kits.

The 53-year-old was one of 1,000 SingPost employees tasked with delivering the kits to households islandwide, in the second distribution exercise of its kind.

As an employee neighbourhood postwoman with SingPost, she has flexible hours and can choose what task to carry out first.

She chose to deliver the ART kits as her first task of the day as the distribution exercise is a priority for her.
