SINGAPORE: Singapore is tracking the emerging Omicron COVID-19 variant 'very closely', and could be forced to take a few steps back again before taking more steps forward, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday .

"But despite all this, I am confident that eventually we will find our way to living with the virus, and safely resume all the things we love to do. All our effort is because we want to get there safely, suffering as few casualties along the way as possible." All long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with travel history within the previous 14 days to Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe are not allowed to enter Singapore or transit here.Mr Lee also noted that COVID-19 has been a"searching test" of public trust, and this applies to countries all around the world.

"I am grateful that the PAP government enjoys the public’s trust. Built up over years of working closely with Singaporeans. Delivering faithfully on promises. Consistently producing results for the people – housing, healthcare, education, well-paying jobs, better futures. We have shown year in, year out, in good times and bad, in crisis after crisis, that the PAP will always be with you, for you, for Singapore.

"Yet still the Government must exercise its judgment to the best of its ability, and carry Singaporeans along.""It is not the time to worry about being popular, or looking good. You must focus on your duty: Doing right by Singaporeans, and seeing Singapore safely through the crisis," he explained.And as leaders strive to do the right thing, they must continue nurturing the people’s trust, he added.
