Green Pulse Ep 20: Singapore's battle against dual invasion of coronavirus and dengue virus

11:56 mins

Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

Tune in to this episode to find out about Singapore's efforts to bring forward an increased fight against dengue in 2020, which has so far already recorded double the number of dengue infections compared to last year, in the midst of the developing Covid-19 crisis.

Tackling the spread of the two different viruses requires two different approaches. But they both need individual citizens to play their part, whether in terms of stepping up personal hygiene to combat the spread of Covid-19, to reducing breeding grounds for the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

These efforts would all help to ensure that Singapore does not have two crises to fight. 

In the fourth of a series of podcast episodes based on The Straits Times' The Big Story video, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan chats with a panel of experts to discuss the importance of personal and public hygiene, as Singapore continues its battle against Covid-19. Subjects covered are the drive for cleanliness amid disease, the existing state of hygiene, the need for a greater appreciation of cleaners and life beyond Covid-19.

The panel includes:

1. Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources

2. Professor Wang Linfa, infectious diseases expert at Duke-NUS Medical School

3. Mr Edward D'Silva, chairman, Public Hygiene Council

Green Pulse Ep 19: Can SG Clean be a national movement to flatten the coronavirus epidemic curve?

12:42 mins

Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

Tune in to this episode to find out about the SG Clean Taskforce and how its aims are more urgent in this current Covid-19 era. Find out about SG Clean certification.

In the third of a series of podcast episodes based on The Straits Times' The Big Story video, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan chats with a panel of experts to discuss the importance of personal and public hygiene, as Singapore continues its battle against Covid-19.

Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. 

This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan chats with Mr Edward D’Silva, chairman of the Public Hygiene Council, on Singapore’s ramped-up efforts to clean up its act, especially during the current outbreak of Covid-19.

Green Pulse Ep 15: Can raised awareness of Covid-19 help end Asia's wildlife markets?

11:20 mins

Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. 

This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan chats with Mr Rohit Singh, zero poaching lead at the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore, on wildlife markets and their link with zoonotic diseases.

In December, a string of pneumonia-linked cases caused by a mystery virus sprang up in Wuhan, China. Preliminary studies showed that bats were likely a natural reservoir for the virus.

Scientists are still studying how the virus made the “jump” to humans, but wild animal markets have been implicated in the process as the first cases of the new Covid-19 coronavirus were workers at the Huanan Wholesale Seafood Market, which also sold wild animals.

The Chinese government has since introduced a temporary ban on wildlife markets in China, but environmental advocates are calling for the ban to be made permanent.

Tune in to this episode to find out what these markets are like in the rest of Asia, their link to the emergence of new infectious diseases, and what can be done to prevent them
