According to the account of a 19-year-old student at the National University of Singapore Business School, an indoor maskless activity during a recent orientation has resulted in 20 students catching Covid-19.The 19-year-old, an NUS freshman, toldthat around 200 participants attended the orientation camp at NUS Business School from June 15 to 17.
In keeping with pandemic regulations, participants were allowed to go maskless for activities outdoors. Although older students on the committee that organised the orientation camp went around reminding participants to put their masks on while indoors, not everyone complied, as seen in a photo that the student gave, which showed around 20 students standing in a line on the stage, very close together, all without masks.The student herself stayed masked throughout the orientation activities as she did not want to get infected with Covid.
Nevertheless, the camp activities went on, after precautions such as the disinfection of the venue where activities were held were carried out.
