As the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths from COVID-19 rise, it is no surprising that some of us may start to feel anxious. After all, the uncertainty is, well, uncertain.
From 13 October, those who are unvaccinated will no longer be allowed to dine out or enter shopping malls. Despite the increasing new cases, Singapore is continuing to travel corridors to US, UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Denmark, and Korea.
Travel can be a good mental health respite
Well, for one, you can travel again!
It may sounds frivolous but travel restrictions did have an impact on mental health. For a tiny island-city, many Singaporeans look to travel to get away from work and to find time to recharge.
If you have been feeling burnt out, responsibly taking a short trip may do your mental health some good.
