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
