The\nministerial team leading the Singapore Government\u2019s response to the viral infection and our\nPrime Minister have spoken to urge Singaporeans to unite and weather the storm together.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three things have arisen which have an impact on Hebron\u2019s response to COVID-19:\n1. Social distancing\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this Sunday, we will implement staggered seating in all Hebron worship services. I will\nleave to the pastors of each congregation to explain how this will be executed more\nprecisely. <strong>For this coming Sunday, as you enter the sanctuary, please sit with one empty\nseat to your left, right, front and back.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Widening border restrictions\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Singapore Government has widened border restrictions against a few more countries\nwhere the COVID-19 infection has spiralled. Accordingly, <strong>from this Sunday, persons who\nhave recently returned from or have had close contact with a person who has recently\nreturned from France, Germany, and Spain, as well as from mainland China (including\nHong Kong), South Korea, Iran, Italy, and Japan should stay home and participate in the\nlive streaming of our 9am worship services instead, available on the Hebron website at\nhebronbp.org.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRecent close contact\u201d means that you have been within 2 metres of a relevant person for\nmore than just a transient interaction, in the past 14 days.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Social responsibility reminder\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government called out socially irresponsible behaviour by some of the infected cases in\nSingapore which had resulted in the infection spreading. Let us continue to be vigilant and\nconsiderate for one another, observe good social hygiene, and do the right thing when we\nare unwell.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do press on in prayer for our Government, frontline personnel, the sick, and all who are\naffected by this crisis. God is merciful; he knows how much we can take. Let us hope in him.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Christ,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev Wong Shin Hoe<br>Senior Pastor<br>Hebron Bible-Presbyterian Church <br>Tel: 67661221 (ext 106) <\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"javascript: imageToPdf()\" class=\"image-link pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hebronbp.org\/info\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hebronbp.org\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1113?print=print\" class=\"image-link pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hebronbp.org\/info\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Hebronites, PASTORAL LETTER AND SOCIAL DISTANCING In the past week, the World Health Organisation declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, as many nations in the West report multiple infections and deaths.
