“If there was ever a time in our history to display unity and resilience, the time is now. All of us are in this together and we need to show respect, compassion and kindness to one another by doing our part to follow the rules of the health authorities,” he was quoted as saying on the AFC’s website.

“I want to thank the AFC for giving me this opportunity to share my support and I encourage everyone to please break the chain. We are constantly reminded of the strength of our medical professionals and to all our frontline workers, we salute your bravery.

“Let’s stay strong and remain united in this fight against the COVID- 一 九 outbreak by taking all preventive measures,” he said.

In the AFC’s latest #BreakTheChain clip, the talented forward says: “Say ‘no’ to fake news. Do not like or share the fake news which causes confusion to the co妹妹unity.” — VNS
