SINGAPORE: Singapore has not ruled out the possibility of another “circuit breaker” in light of the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in the community, but it hopes to avoid that situation with newly announced restrictions, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong.from May 8 to May 30. This is a reduction from the eight people allowed currently.
"With the cooperation and support of all Singaporeans, I think we probably will be able to avoid having to get to a circuit breaker situation but we cannot rule that out," he added."And that is why we will continue to remain vigilant, monitor the situation and adjust our measures as we go along."

“But as an additional pre-emptive step, we are taking this move that we have just described - bringing the whole suite of measures back to Phase 2 and taking a much tighter posture overall," said Mr Wong.
No point in having better technology and everybody co-operating if our government is all out on opening the door without restrictions despite vivid warning signs. Then the blame is imply on us and the travellers which leads to misunderstanding between both groups.
