Stigma or discrimination associated with COVID-19 is never tolerated.

Healthcare workers are working to save our lives. Meanwhile, many other workers in other forms of medical settings as well as places such as supermarkets, drug stores, logistics, public transportation, childcare facilities, and care facilities are working to support our everyday lives.
In recognition of this, movements have emerged calling for the public to cheer for these key workers.

In an effort to save lives, all of our healthcare workers are fighting hard in the battle against COVID-19.
We can show our support for them by making sure that we all do the right thing.
We ask for your cooperation and understanding.
