A tribute to frontline workers

The morning segment of the NDP 2020 will showcase the stories of everyday Singaporeans and recognise individuals who have been battling the Covid-19 pandemic.

The mobile column will also pay tribute to these individuals.

Around 100 frontline and essential workers from the healthcare, social service and other essential industries will be on board the mobile column as they travel across Singapore.

The mobile column will also drive by Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Sengkang General Hospital and Singapore EXPO.

Safety wise, the NDP2020 Executive Committee has implemented safe management measures to ensure the mobile column segment is carried out safely during this pandemic.
