More crowded on trains and roads after Singapore exits circuit breaker

SINGAPORE: With more people returning to work or school following the end of the COVID-19 “circuit breaker”, trains and roads were noticeably busier on Tuesday .

Just a day before, only a small number of people were seen at Raffles Place, mainly security officers, frontline bank employees and a handful of food delivery riders. “When I came into the office, I couldn’t remember my password,” said one employee at Raffles Place who only wanted to be known as Leo. This involves split teams alternating between working from home and going into the office on alternate weeks.

Singapore is reopening its economy in phases, after a fall in the number of COVID-19 cases in the community.
