COVID-19: Too Close for Comfort, Will the Pandemic Make or Break the Family?

Home isolation may be helping to curb the spread of COVID-19, but it's also putting families to the test. The struggle to live and work together in a confined space has created spikes in divorce applications and domestic violence around the world. Low-income families may be hit the hardest. But as our lives are upended, forced togetherness may have its unexpected positives. Will COVID-19 force Singaporean families to forge stronger bonds, or will it push us further apart?

You may visit the LKYSPP Facebook page from 5.15pm on that day to view the live stream and share your comments and questions.
