To wear or not to wear? That is the question as people all over are gripped by fear of the Wuhan virus, which has claimed at least 130 lives so far in China.

In Singapore, the answer is clear from the long queues outside stores selling face masks, which have been flying off the shelves.

At Resorts World Singapore (RWS), some front-line staff were upset after they were apparently told not to wear face masks at work in case they alarm the guests.

In text messages seen by The New Paper, several guest services staff at Universal Studios Singapore in RWS discussed their concern about having to interact with tourists, including those from China.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed three new cases of infection, bringing the total to 10.

As in the previous seven cases, all three new patients are from Wuhan in China’s Hubei province.

A member of the RWS message group confirmed the message exchange as authentic but declined to comment further.

One message said: “I don’t feel comfortable coming to work knowing that there is no precaution for us other than sanitisers.”
