Coronavirus: PM Lee Hsien Loong's full address to the nation on the Covid-19 situation

SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong addressed the nation on additional steps that the Government is taking to control the Covid-19 situation. Here is the full address:Since then, the number of new cases daily has begun to rise.But in the last two weeks, despite our best efforts, we have routinely had more than 50 new cases daily.Then last week, we began to have more local cases.

As the situation developed over the past weeks, we have tightened our safe-distancing measures progressively.By working together, we have kept the outbreak under control. People working in these industries can continue to go to work, with safe-distancing measures in place.But others will not be able to, including foreign workers on construction sites and in shipyards.The closure of workplaces will take effect from next Tuesday.

Safe distancing is also hard for a psychological and emotional reason: it goes very much against our human instincts Essential services will continue running so that all of us can cope with this new situation, as we hunker down to fight this virus.You can still shop at the supermarket or wet market.You can still buy food from your favourite hawker centres or coffee shop.Rather than hang out and eat outside with your friends.This is already a very difficult time for them.

Small suggestion Please close non-veg shops
