hey..
here are some rules for the SGH caroling session which we have to adhere to.. do take note of them..

In view of the SARs situation and our multi-racial environment that we operate in, we seek your understanding to take note of the following during the carolling session:

• Please restrict the number of carollers in the group to no more than 10 people. Only carollers aged 16 and above will be allowed in the ward to do carolling.
  
• Do not report for carolling if your temperature is above 37.5 degrees Celsius or if you do not feel well. Please heed your doctor's advice to stay at home. Please also inform your group leader and organisation.
  
• Should the hospital be on orange alert in the event of fresh outbreak of SARs or other infectious disease, we may cancel all performance at short notice. We seek your understanding on this matter.
  
• Do perform within the work area/areas assigned to you. Do not cross between wards or departments areas and do not perform any carolling near High Dependency wards, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or isolation rooms.
  
• Please avoid shaking hands with the patients to prevent any possible cross infection.
  
• Please practice good hygiene and wash your hands thoroughly when entering and/or leaving the hospital grounds.
  
• Please avoid performing nativity scene or other religious dramas/plays during the carolling session.
  
• Please do not pray/evangelise at our patients’ bedside or to our visitors/staff
  
• Contemporary Christmas carols are preferred. Avoid songs with overt religious undertones.
  
• Greeting cards are welcome but please do not distribute flyers/postcards/notices with religious overtones to patients/visitors/staff.
  
• If you wish to give presents to our patients, the following are some suggestions:
  1)Packet dried food/biscuits
  2)Toiletries such as brush, toothpaste, towels etc
  3)No home-cooked food
  
  MEETING POINT
  
• Please ensure that all members have arrived first before proceeding to Ward that you have been assigned to. Once you are at the ward, please register your names in the FOSGH Log Sheet which the Nurse in charge will provide (the staff particulars are in the schedule).
