SINGAPORE - Beyond the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change will emerge as an even bigger challenge for newsroom leaders to cover well, across various domains ranging from environmental to political impact, said World Editors Forum (WEF) president Warren Fernandez. That is the crisis of our generation, stressed Mr Fernandez, who is editor of The Straits Times and editor-in-chief of Singapore Press Holdings English/Malay/Tamil Media Group. If we have seen in Covid-19 how hard it is to get communities, governments and societies behind a solution, I think climate change is going to show how it is going to be even harder. That s where newsrooms come in.

B16172 strain has been found in many new COVID-19 cases in Singapore.
Singapore:
Singapore on Thursday ordered Facebook and Twitter to carry a correction notice to users of the social media platforms in the country over what it says is a false statement about a new virus variant originating in Singapore.
The ministry of health said it was aware of the statement circulating online on media outlets and social media platforms, which implied that a new, previously unknown variant of COVID-19 originated in Singapore and risked spreading to India from the city-state.
The move came after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said in a Twitter post this week that a new form of the virus that was particularly harmful to children had come to Singapore, and urged for a ban on flights.
