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.

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.
The mindset shift: Can this be voluntarily done by people and premises? This is important as the fight against Covid-19 is in the hands of individuals, experts say, as personal hygiene and cleanliness can reduce the natural spread of the virus.
This would also help flatten the epidemic curve by preventing the number of cases from surging suddenly, helping healthcare systems better manage existing patients.

Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood.
With people spending more time at home because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the #PopVultures round up some of the best and worst celebrity moments on social media.
Was Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot's rendition of John Lennon's Imagine tone deaf in more ways than one? How did American rapper Cardi B's famous "corona-VIRUS" rant enter the Billboard charts? Are British diver Tom Daley's shirtless home workouts the thirst trap that everyone needs?

Health Check Ep 34: "I had hallucinations," said discharged coronavirus patient, who spent 13 days in ICU
15:10 mins
Synopsis: This is a fortnightly podcast series on Wednesdays by The Straits Times. We usually bring you tips and expert advice but in this episode, ST senior correspondent Joyce Teo spoke with Ben, 55, who had tested positive for Covid-19 at Alexandra Hospital on March 5 and developed severe disease. She asked him about his early symptoms and his ICU experience.
When Ben sought help at the hospital that day, he was given high amounts of oxygen via an oxygen mask, even though he said he wasn't panting or gasping for breath. Little did he know that on that same day, his condition would worsen so much that he had to be put on life support. Ben spent 13 days in ICU and was discharged on March 21.
