The Government will not revert to stricter infection controls despite recent elevated numbers of Covid-19 case, because the country has entered a “new phase” where high levels of vaccine coverage are protecting Singaporeans from the virus, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said on Friday (Sept 3).

Mr Wong said: “In the past, when we have a situation of such high daily cases, we would have looked to measures like a heightened alert, or even a circuit breaker (to halt activities) to control the infection.”

But we are in a new phase, where we have a high level of vaccine coverage to protect Singaporeans. And we are now moving into a phase of living with Covid and becoming Covid-resilient, and so we assess that there is no need to impose heightened restrictions

On last Friday 3rd Sept, Lawrence Wong said the govt will not tighten measures even there are increase in covid cases.

Today, 6th Sept, he changed his mind to tighten measures within 3 days ?

How can we trust the govt who keeps changing their decision within 3 days ?
