In light of the COVID-19 situation, can I perform CPR and use an AED on a cardiac arrest victim?

YES, YOU CAN! As advised by The Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council (SRFAC), you can step up and help to save a heart by performing CPR and use an AED to improve the overall chances of survival of the casualty.

If you witness someone who had collapsed, always remember to call 995 and stay on the line with the medical dispatcher who will be there to assist and guide you until the ambulance arrives.
