Singapore is deeply concerned about the growing scale of the COVID-19 outbreak and its enormous public health, social and economic impact, including the loss of many precious lives.  On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic and advised that all countries are at risk and need to prepare for and respond to COVID-19.

In response to appeals by the United Nations (UN) and the WHO, the Singapore Government will be making a contribution of US$500,000 to support the WHO’s Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SPRP) for COVID-19, which aims to limit human-to-human transmission of the virus.

Singapore will continue to work closely with the WHO and the UN to explore how best we can contribute to the ongoing efforts.
