While it may seem almost impossible for singles to find love during the pandemic – because how do we socialise these days? – Wong Ing Hwa, 33, and his girlfriend, Charis Tan, 32, found each other.

The couple met on a dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel and went out on their first date in Jul 2020 during the recovery movement control order.
