The Lockdown Chronicles: A Collection of Stories from the MCO

For many of us, the first MCO probably seems ages ago. And with the new year, I think it’s fair to say that we want to put 2020 behind us and look forward to a better year, and one without lockdowns. But for Viji Krishnamoorthy and Shireen Zainudin, our experiences during the various MCOs are a valuable part of our history. So much so that they decided to compile some of those experiences into a book titled The Lockdown Chronicles, which they edited.
