Through frontliners' eyes, what went well and what fell short in our Covid-19 fight -

Singapore has come full circle since its first Covid-19 case surfaced in January 2020, from a lockdown, shuttered borders, ever-changing permitted group sizes, mass vaccination programme, to a mask-lite existence in recent days.
Along the way, its efforts at battling the unprecedented pandemic has also won international plaudits.
In May 2021, Singapore topped the Bloomberg Covid Resilience Ranking — which considers factors ranging from Covid-19 case numbers to freedom of movement — knocking out New Zealand which had ruled the chart for months.
Bloomberg cited Singapore's efficient vaccination programme compared to the slow rollout in New Zealand as the chief reason for the change in position.
Singapore was also one of the countries where a majority of its people feel more united than before the pandemic, according to a survey by American think tank Pew Research Center last year.
Only 22 per cent of Singapore respondents said that the country is more divided, compared with a median of 61 per cent among the 19 countries polled.
The survey also found that a majority in Singapore feel that it is very important to get the Covid-19 vaccine in order to be a good member of society, and this opinion translates to higher rates of vaccination across the population.
While Singapore’s overall handling of the pandemic is deemed successful by international standards, there were also missteps, said infectious diseases experts. One such lapse was the Government’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak in migrant worker dormitories.
