SINGAPORE: The defence capabilities built over the past year have enabled Singapore to no longer need a"circuit breaker" to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing most businesses to stay open and for people to carry on with their daily lives, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Saturday .
READ: Singapore’s COVID-19 vaccination rates ‘not high enough’ to provide sufficient protection: Lawrence Wong"Fortunately, we have built up our capabilities over the past year. We can now test, contact trace and isolate very quickly. We have also vaccinated a good part of our population."With these defences in place, I believe we are able to put the circuit breaker as a response behind us, and able to keep most businesses open, carry on with our daily lives," he said.
Echoing a point made at the COVID-19 multi-ministry task force press conference on Friday, the Health Minister said Singapore is vaccinating as fast as possible but the vaccination rate is constrained by supplies due to high global demand. Mr Ong also encouraged people to get vaccinated when it is their turn to do so, as well as encourage their friends and family members to do the same.The COVID-19 task force announced on Friday several changes to the upcoming reopening measures due to a persistent number of unlinked cases, as well as a large cluster around 115 Bukit Merah View Market and Food Centre.
Over confident?
Obviously a far fetched dream. With a weak vaccine against delta , porous borders in a hub setting, and a backdrop of 7mln crammed in 700kmsq space....there's no way to control without a lock down of some sort.
Hopefully this ⭐️ General is not as Suay as the other ⭐️ General, who jinxed 乌鸦咀 by saying COVID19 pandemic here is on track to “under control” Can they just report and don’t be so opinionated? Or else just Shut up! We want our lives back! OngYeKung sporeMOH
Did the military language test well across all demographics? 'Defences'? Lol Send Bravo to Phase Line Alpha! Covid Ninjas infiltrating of the Delta Variety w/ unidentified weapons. Too many too count. They're eating us!!!!

doesn’t seem that are in agreement. Everyone wants to be ahead it seems
