Covid-19: Number of community cases down but Singapore ‘not out of the woods’ yet, says health ministerSingapore Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said it is too early to celebrate or to think about ending the infection in June or July or whatever time frame. — TODAY pic
“ focus more importantly on our immediate task to ensure that we are able to manage and contain the total number of infections in Singapore. I think that’s our primary objective,” said Gan, who was speaking at a press conference as co-chair of a multi-ministry task force handling the Covid-19 response in Singapore.
The transmission of Covid-19 between foreign workers living dormitories and that of individuals in the local community are following very different trajectories, he noted. As such, new safe distancing guidelines and standards for workplaces will be put in place after circuit breaker measures are relaxed, he said.
Regular testing will also be increased and technology will be used to ensure better tracking of cases in the workplace.
