The government is currently proposing on how Singapore will move to the third phase, and the relevant plans are expected to be announced in a few weeks.
Lawrence Wong, the Minister of Education and the Second Minister of the Ministry of Finance, revealed the details of opening of phase three at a press conference today (September 23).
Although he did not say when Singapore will officially bid farewell to phase two, he pointed out that the government is already drawing up a plan and hopes to share more details in a few weeks.
It was revealed that the relevant plan will include relaxation of travel bans and relaxation of more activity restrictions, including restrictions on the number of dine-in and home visits.
Wong also emphasized that the country’s move to stage three is not a “natural” process, but requires the cooperation of all Singaporeans, including strict compliance with all epidemic prevention and safety measures, and the use of epidemic prevention tools such as “TraceTogether”. . The government also needs to continuously improve virus detection capabilities.
“I think these elements will give us confidence, let us continue to follow this positive trend, and move forward in the direction of stable control of the epidemic and safe restart.”
