Besides seniors, PM Lee also met safe distancing ambassador, Madam Malina.
PM Lee thanked her and other front-line workers battling the virus for their service.
PM Lee said in his post: "In a week's time, we welcome the Year of the Tiger. Chinese New Year celebrations will still be muted this year, but am (sic) heartened to see residents upbeat and taking things in their stride."
