Singapore has tightened COVID-19 rules despite 80 per cent of the country being fully vaccinated, an apparent shift away from its stated transition toward living with the virus.

Singapore made work-from-home the default and tightened rules to allow a maximum of two people to meet in restaurants or other social settings, as it seeks to rein in mostly mild cases that could otherwise quadruple in two weeks and overburden hospitals.

Singapore has strengthened rules to curb a COVID-19 outbreak despite the fact most of its population is vaccinated.The moves, which take effect from September 27 for about a month, appear to shift away from the country’s stated transition toward living with the virus. About 80 per cent of the Singapore’s population is fully vaccinated.

“While doing so may not reduce the number of daily new infections immediately, it will allow us to slow down the speed of increase and avoid overtaxing our healthcare workers.”

This could be our future depending on how cases/hospitalisations track after we reopen

Everyone has had a cold or flu at some time in their life. So guess what, everyone will get covid at some time in their life. There is no hiding. If you aren't ready, you have a good chance of dying. Why aren't you ready?

peggymel2001 Australian Fed govt would do well to heed this article & stop giving covid risk averse states a hard time.

Hey Scooty boy, while I desperately want us to open so much for Australia’s National Plan - 80% not cutting it in Singapore ScottMorrisonMP auspol

Media, government and health industry lies are all now being exposed. You put our lives at risk by being dishonest. Putting profits again before people.

steveburgess23 Restaurants still open and working from home? I’d take that.

gailonghurst Very different demographics in Singapore One of the densest populations living in high rise buildings on a tiny block of land. One case in such buildings and all hell lets loose. We have a few such places, but no comparison really. So folks, Don't procrastinate. Vaccinate !

Looks like old Doherty needs to take a trip up to Singapore to have another look at the Morrison inspired plan, looks like someone forgot about the other 20% unvaccinated staggering around the place spreading their germs with total freedom .

They're watching Gladys trash Australia

Said so, from the start. Matthew Lobster Guy, back, riots now happening

Turns out 1 in 5 adults and 100% of kids means there’s still a lot of Covid, illness and death being shared about. Thank you to UK, Singapore, and Israel going ahead showing the destructiveness of opening up to the unvaccinated

Australia in for a kick in the pants with ScottMorrisonMP and GladysB's opening up roadmap. Scott Morrison talking about 80% vac and people flying in and out of the country with gay abandon. Another chance for him to use his 'Hindsight Heros' quote when it goes pearshaped.

Here we go another article to create fear they want to keep under lockdown it’s pathetic how they run these articles

Surely that means GladysB is wrong Scotty is wrong the whole LNP is wrong.. Now there's evidence to show LNP involved in riots in Melbourne... Heres a picture of two Vic state liberals with riot organiser MurdochRiots auspol BreakfastNews PatsKarvelas

Remember when…

Nearly as facist as Australia ...what happened to the Anzacs ? Turned into a bounce of bedwetting Nancy boys .

Walking trans-humans!

imagine a world without social media constantly sounding alarms ..how many would have panicked if they got their news via the paper in morning or via the evening news ..this constant news is harmful

Lots of grey area with COVID. I'm in BC Canada we are 80% over 12 yo dbl dosed 86% 1st dosed with Vax cards/mask mandate inside public areas. Unvaxed inc. under 12 yo's are now falling ill & hosp. overwhelmed Elderly may receive 3rd dose Over 5 yr old to 11 yr old to be vaxed Nov

There is no living with the virus. Either you get rid of it, or be overwhelmed.
