Minister Khaw Boon Wan said that there will be times social distancing is no possible on crowded public transport, he posted a Facebook post removing safety distancing stickers from public transport.
Here is his FB Post:
As Circuit Breaker Ends Singaporeans are looking forward to tomorrow, as today marks the end of the two-month circuit breaker. But we are taking it slowly, easing the measures gradually and carefully.
Unnecessary haste may lead to an uncontrollable spike and cluster. We do not want to have to hit the circuit breaker again. For public transport, the end of CB will mean the return of commuters, in increasing number.
We have been able to ensure safe distancing so far because commuter numbers have plunged. From tomorrow onwards, it will be more challenging. We still urge Singaporeans to work from home and for those who need to leave home, to stagger their time and avoid traditional peak hours.
There will be times when safe distancing will not be possible
Even then, there will be times when safe distancing will not be possible . So it is important for all commuters to wear mask all the time.
In short, as you step out of your homes tomorrow, remember to:
- i) Check in/Check out with Safe Entry;
- ii) Mask up;
- iii) Refrain from conversations;
- iv) Observe personal hygiene.
Do work with our Transport Ambassadors and public transport workers so that we can keep public transport safe for all! #SGUnited #SingaporeTogether #TravelSafeSG
