SINGAPORE - Singapore expects the number of Covid-19 cases to increase when it allows more activities to resume and for this reason, it is moving cautiously despite the low number of cases in the community, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said on Friday .
The minister was replying to a question on whether Singapore has successfully"flattened the curve" for community cases, or limited the number to an extent that the healthcare system is not overwhelmed. But, he said,"as some of the circuit breaker measures are rolled back and relaxed, we are likely to see the number of community cases going up.
Even though a higher number of cases in the community is expected going forward,"we hope to prevent a large cluster or a sharp spike in the number of cases, which will then require us to perhaps reintroduce some of the circuit breaker measures," Mr Gan said.
How are eateries going to survive without dining in customers since overpriced property prices has cause rents to be high resulting in spaces being small. Landlords will rather see more than half the malls empty than drop rental by half.
It's called covering your ass!
Don't rush to remove the CB measures too soon. It pays to be more cautious.
