The pandemic situation has been volatile since the beginning of the year with many restaurants impacted. Hoping to support the economic recovery,I took the initiative to get myself vaccinated and received my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in April. A number of my friends and family members have already been vaccinated too. I truly believe vaccination is the most effective way to protect myself and my family,and this win is certainly a pleasant yet unexpected surprise. I shall continue to encourage my friends and family to get vaccinated,and to prepare ourselves for returning to normality and travel again.'
