Most circuit breaker measures will be lifted from tomorrow, but life should not go back to normal, warn experts, if Singapore wants to avoid a second round of circuit breaker measures.
After South Korea eased its measures early last month, more than 100 coronavirus cases emerged among nightspot patrons, possibly spread by a 29-year-old man who had club-hopped. Beijing implemented a partial lockdown this week - including cancelling flights and closing schools - following an outbreak of Covid-19 linked to a food market last week, with more than 130 people infected so far.
Professor Dale Fisher, a senior infectious disease consultant at the National University Hospital, said:"The community needs to fear a reversal of the opening up and behave in many ways like in phase one if possible." Dr Kurup pointed out that Singapore is a small nation and densely populated, so how things play out will depend a lot on community behaviour.
Even if everyone wears a mask when out and keeps a 1m distance from others, it does not guarantee he will not get infected. Masks help to cut the transmission of the virus, but do not stop it altogether. As Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said when announcing tomorrow's further easing of measures, there is only so much the Government can do. People need to cooperate with the spirit, rather than just the letter of the law.
