SINGAPORE: Singapore has to"move cautiously" in exiting its COVID-19"circuit breaker" period as there are still"hidden cases" of infection circulating among the general population, said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong on Monday .
"The fact is that there are still hidden cases circulating amongst the general population," Mr Wong said in a Facebook post. "All the countries that have been beaten the virus to low levels have seen a rebound in cases when they resumed activities - more when they resumed precipitously; less when they proceeded cautiously," he wrote.
"If we permit physiotherapy, should we also allow spas and massage centres? We would have liked to say 'yes' to all the requests. But each time we ease up on something, we introduce many more face-to-face contacts and people movement within the community. That in turn means higher transmission risks and the likelihood of more infections," he said.
Put your face mask on, people.
