COVID-19 Situation in Singapore
The Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf) salutes our medical professionals, cleaners and others serving on the frontlines in the midst of the COVID-19 situation in Singapore. Likewise, SADeaf staff – such as our learning support executives, sign language interpreters, notetakers, case managers and speech therapist – continue to serve our clients in schools, hospitals and at workplaces.
As the crisis has impacted on the economy and on our fundraising activities, we wish to appeal for donations from the general public. Help us by donating now so that we can stretch your donations to enable us to raise more funds to better serve our Deaf, hard-of-hearing and Deafblind community.

DORSCON Orange: What it Means
Let’s keep each other safe and informed.
The DORSCON level has been raised to Orange since Friday, 7th February 2020. The public has taken their own measures by emptying shelves in the supermarkets and also shunning people who were in contact with confirmed and suspected cases, namely the medical personnel. Is this necessary? Let’s take a look at what the DORSCON levels mean and the advice to the public from the Ministry of Health (MOH) to find out how we should be reacting to this situation!
