SINGAPORE: Being stuck inside a hotel room in Honolulu for three days wasn’t the end to her spring break Claudia Wu had expected, but the day ...

, after it was decided that all those who have travelled to the United Kingdom and United States should do so as part of measures to reduce the risk from imported COVID-19 cases. About 1,200 people a day come to Singapore from these countries.Unlike the usual tourists out and about exploring the island, guests like Ms Wu are not allowed to leave their room.

Other Singaporeans have also expressed their relief at the mandatory self-isolation programme arranged for them. “It makes sense, especially with the recent news reports of people who are infectious but asymptomatic,” said Ms Adilla, who is also a senior social worker at Big Love Child Protection Specialist Centre. “We have to be socially responsible and civic-minded, especially at this point of time.”Tech investor Aaron Fu finally managed to fly to Singapore on Thursday night from Boston - where he lives - via New York after multiple flight cancellations.

“There’s no balcony, circulated air for two weeks,” he said. “I wish there was a level of choice for me to be able to say I need more space and willing to pay more .” Other than finishing his work and watching shows online, the environmental studies and public policy PhD student plans to spend his time birdwatching from his balcony. There is even enough room to do a shuttle run if he wants to exercise.

Jail terms, fines for those who breach COVID-19 safe-distancing rules, stay-home noticeSINGAPORE: Individuals, event organisers and owners of premises who break rules meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Singapore could face jail ... Good luck to the jails here and also to maintain 1 metre apart inside the jail? As silly and hard to comply as it sounds but it is a good deterrent to those that are extremely impatient thinking that queuing any closer will move the line faster. Well done!! Seriously.. How to keep social distancing away during peak hours in an elevator or inside the train? This should be raised in the parliament or during the press conference. Can any media reporter help the ground pose this question to the ministers? It’s urgent. Thank you. 🙏

Honestly, it’s normal to have an increase, but the increase is within the population after its lockdown. So is normal.
